From whatever little googling(not a word) I did the Colors are different. The Normal polo and Polo GT are Flash red, paint code : LP3G.

The Polo GTI is actually Tornado Red, paint code: LY3D.

As far as I checked the above information is correct, but I could be wrong. Can GTI owners confirm the color code mentioned in the door jam.

Yes that's true. Unfortunately my friend couldn't pick it up at that time :(

Scoop! VW Polo GTI stock clearance. Now at Rs. 19.99 lakh-gti_longterm_fe_678.jpeg

678km completed, nice to see the FE number (includes numerous rides for friends and family demonstrating the 192 German horses and XDS+ ).

It is a long time since I stopped in a car park to drool.

Yes, the GTI did that to me today. Beautiful in red, the two doors make the car look smaller in a sporty kind of way. Four doors look cluttered by comparison.

Superb-looking car! I wonder if the owner of _________4__4 is among us here?

Absolutely. 2-door looks beautiful. And they are huge, from inside, they give a feeling of traveling in a volvo bus or shatabdi - massive glass on the side with no end in the sight practically - B pillar is not visible unless you turn your head back. I am loving it!

Just got a call from the dealer (B U Bhandari, Pune). They have received a red GTI today (new, not a test drive/media car) if anyone is interested.

Re: Scoop! VW Polo GTI stock clearance. Now at Rs. 19.99 lakh

Looks like they have sold a decent number of cars here in Bangalore. Last week spotted a silver GTI for the first time. Actually two silver cars spotted in the space of half hour! Have spotted more than a couple red and black GTI's in the past. Surprisingly yet to see a white one on the road apart from the TD car.

99.9% people think it's just another Polo. But at times have also come across some people who strain their necks to have a good look at the car and have also seen some enthusiasts reacting as if they have spotted a celebrity

I stretched out to look at a red one today, but turned out to be a souped-up GT, the 4 doors gave it away!

Not sure what is the latest on stocks are... Is someone tracking?

For the pre-owned enthusiasts in KA, there is one here but asking way more than the OTR of a new one but should be available for a steal - http://classifieds.team-bhp.com/buy-...gen/Polo.html/

Re: Scoop! VW Polo GTI stock clearance. Now at Rs. 19.99 lakh

Hi Guys! I'm new here, in fact i joined after reading up all the forums on the GTI because i really wanted to thank BHPians anandpadhye and santoshbhatt for their SUPER informative reviews and general knowledge about the GTI. I finally got my hands on one and been driving it since a day! What a beast! Anand, it's the same last one that B.U. Bhandari had! Again, i want to thank all you guys and help whoever is here on the forums to get more info about wanting to buy one. I say GO FOR IT ASAP! It's worth every extra penny! I got mine for about 19.7 OTR! I'll be around here to answer any questions anyone has, cos i was so greatly helped by the BHPians on this forum! Cheers!

Welcome to Team-BHP and congratulations on your new purchase. You’ve got a beast of a car for a price way lesser than what competition offers.

How about you start with an ownership review of the same?
