The Mk V Polo GTI promises to be the fastest, most focussed and cleanest performance Polo yet produced. At its heart is a 1.4-litre TSI engine that uses a supercharger from idle through to 3,000rpm at which point the turbocharger cuts in to provide boost. The result is an output of 180 PS at 6,200rpm and 184lbs ft of torque from 2,000rpm which, when aligned with a 1,184kg kerb weight, allows the Polo GTI to accelerate from rest to 62 mph in 6.9 seconds before reaching a top speed of 142 mph.
