VW Polo WRC Street!

Volkswagen is previewing its upcoming VW Polo R with this new VW Polo WRC Street at the Worthersee tuning festival in Austria.

The new model, created especially for the VW Group-organised tuning festival, will go on sale before the end of 2013 as a limited-run special.

Power comes from a 2.0-litre turbocharged and supercharged TSI engine with 217bhp. That’s more than the 208bhp produced by the hot Polo’s larger Golf GTI sibling.

The Polo WRC Street is, as the name suggests, a production model inspired by VW’s entry into the World Rally Championship in 2013. VW insiders have confirmed the Polo R WRC rally car will also go on to inspire a full-blown R version of the Polo road car. The WRC Street is a forerunner to this car.

Setting the Polo WRC Street apart from its more humble siblings is a bodykit that includes a boot spoiler and rear diffuser, plus a more aggressive front-end and larger alloys. R-WRC badges also feature both inside and out.

Also on display on VW’s Worthersee show stand is a running prototype of the Polo R WRC car itself. Power for this comes from a 1.6 TSI engine with 296bhp; it can crack 0-62mph in just 4.1sec.

SEAT Unveils Racing Models!

SEAT has unveiled two racing cars based on its Ibiza and Leon models at the Worthersee show in Austria.

The Ibiza SC Trophy uses the two-door version of the hatch as its base and is fitted with a 177bhp 1.4-litre TSI engine and a seven-speed DSG transmission.

To help improve handling and performance the SC Trophy also receives a locking differential and racing suspension. The brakes have been upgraded too. Modifications have also been made to the oil sump to compensate for the high lateral forces this car will have to contend with during racing conditions.

The exterior modifications include a central exhaust, large rear wing and aggressively flared wheel arches, while the cabin has been stripped out and reinforced with a roll cage to improve safety and handling.

The Leon Super Copa has received similar treatment with details including large front and rear splitters and the being the more senior league racer, it receives an up rated 2.0-litre TSI unit which now produces around 296bhp and 340Nm of torque through a six-speed DSG transmission.

Both models are available with the Ibiza variant costing around €31,500 (£25,155) before tax and the Leon costing €63,000 (£50,311) before tax.
Porsche 918 Spyder Revealed!

Porsche has released official images of its hybrid Carrera GT successor, the Porsche 918 Spyder. These images show a pre-production 918, with styling extremely similar to the 2010 918 concept, and Porsche has confirmed production will begin in September 2013.

Look past the race-inspired livery and this car shows the final design, which will boast adaptive aerodynamics. The shots also show the neat way that the exhaust system, with two pipes exiting in separate bulkheads behind each seat, is integrated into the body work, something Porsche says diverts heat away from the 918s lithium-ion battery pack.

Also visible at the rear are tailights that appear to be lifted directly from the new 911. These could be changed nearer production to fit more snugly in the recess surrounding them.

Porsche has also confirmed that the 918 will offer adaptive rear-wheel steering, offering greater agility in the corners, with its plug-in Hybrid drivetrain will deliver a total of 760bhp yet return around 94mpg and emit just 70g/km of CO2. An electric mode will allow the 918 to cover small distances without burning any fuel at all.

Power comes from a mid-mounted dry sump 4.6 litre V8 thats derived from the Porsche RS Spyder race cars 3.4 litre unit and is expected to rev at up to 9,000rpm. Mated to this is a pair if electric motors, one powering the front axle and another positioned between the engine and the seven-speed PDK transmission. Peak torque is around 880Nm.

A carbon-fibre reinforced plastic monocoque will make the 918 incredible stiff and light, so performance should be sensational. Expect a 0-62mph time around three seconds, a top speed of 200mph and a lap of the Nurburgring is claimed to take a mere seven minutes 22 seconds.

The first deliveries of the Porsche 918 Spyder will take place in early 2014 with prices starting at £678,000.
Mini GP II Revealed!
Posted: Monday 14th May 2012

The MINI John Cooper Works GP II is a final fling for the second-generation hatch – and while MINI has yet to reveal how much power the car has, it’s said the newcomer will lap the famous Nurburgring race track in Germany 19 seconds faster than 2006’s original GP, in eight minutes and 23 seconds.

Only 2,000 examples of the GP II will be produced, and the company is promising a better power-to-weight ratio than in any MINI before it. Plus, the bumpers are beefed-up front and rear, while side skirts and a unique roof spoiler are backed up by a bespoke underbody diffuser.

Racy red colour coding on the brake vents and bonnet intakes is repeated on the mirror caps. And if that’s not enough, there are GP graphics on the doors as well.

The newcomer should be one of the best-handling MINIs ever, too. The chassis has adjustable ‘race’ suspension, stiffened for improved cornering. A set of special alloys with stickier tyres will also help, while the stronger brakes will allow drivers to attack corners with more confidence.

The extreme feel continues inside. MINI has removed the rear seat – just as it did in the 2006 model – while up front is a set of sports seats that will hold the driver and passenger firmly in place.

Although we don’t know how much power the 1.6-litre four-cylinder turbocharged engine will deliver, the previous MINI GP added around 8bhp to the regular JCW of the time.

If the new version follows suit – as is likely – that would mean at least 216bhp.And it would enable the GP II to eclipse the JCW’s 6.8-second 0-62mph sprint time.

However fast it can go, the MINI GP II is likely to cost around £25,000 when it arrives in dealers here later this month.
