1000cc Volkswagen Polo uses Virtus’ turbo and makes 200 Bhp! [Video]
When it comes to hot hatches, one of the most popular hatchbacks in India is the Volkswagen Polo. Now, although Volkswagen has discontinued this popular hatchback in India, enthusiasts still love it with all their heart. Recently, a video of another highly modified Volkswagen Polo has been shared online. This particular one is equipped with the 1.0-litre TSI engine. However, the special part about it is that it has been fitted with a bigger turbo from the Volkswagen Virtus GT. It has also been given a number of other modifications as well.
Stage 3 Volkswagen Polo 1.0-litre TSI
The video of this Volkswagen Polo 1.0-litre TSI comes courtesy of The Drivers Hub from YouTube. It starts off with the presenter talking about the exterior modifications first. He mentions that the most unique thing about its appearance is the one-off wrap job. He mentions that this Polo has been wrapped in Avery Pride Prismatic Grey color. He explains that when outside, it looks like a normal grey color. However, when it comes under good lighting conditions, it shows its iridescent nature with multiple different colors, which look very unique.
Next up, he adds that the car also gets a WRC bumper, a Maxton front splitter, and black Lenso Venom wheels as well. The presenter also mentions that the owner of the car has also given it a brake upgrade. It now gets a bigger AP Racing brake which has 330 mm slotted and drilled front discs with 4-piston calipers. Also, what’s unique is that the stock car comes with drum brakes in the rear, but this one has a GTI conversion and comes with rear disc brakes and steel braided lines as well. Other exterior mods include a spoiler and Audi Q2-inspired LED taillights.

Following the exterior, the presenter comes to the main highlight of this Polo, which is its engine. He opens the bonnet and mentions that the car has been modified to the extreme. It now gets a BMC CDA carbon fiber intake, a custom-built exhaust system by Speed Sport which includes a custom downpipe and exhaust. He also adds that the car has been given a cooling system upgrade which now equips this car with a new intercooler with custom plumbing. Lastly, he adds that the car has also been given a bigger turbo from the 1.5-litre EVO engine that comes in the new Volkswagen Virtus and Taigun GT. The car also comes with a six-speed manual transmission.

After showing the exterior and the performance upgrades of the car, the presenter then takes it out for a spin. He starts by stating that they recently drove another bigger turbo Polo 1.0-litre TSI; however, that one was equipped with a 6-speed torque converter which was not as engaging to drive as this 6-speed manual car. He mentions that it drives like a rocket and the handling is also very good despite making around 200 bhp and 300 Nm in this small package. The presenter also opened the valves of the valvetronic exhaust which presented a very loud exhaust note. Overall, the presenter stated that the car is extremely fun to drive.
