Volkswagen has unveiled the concept of the Polo R WRC, the car with which it will compete in the World Rally Championship from 2013.
After three consecutive victories at the Dakar Rally, Volkswagen has set itself new aims in top-calibre sport.
With three car corporations currently involved in the championship and global media coverage, the WRC offers an attractive, highly competitive environment for Volkswagen.
By 2013 the German brand will develop a near-300-hp rally vehicle with a 1.6-litre TSI engine and four-wheel drive based on the Polo.
