THE ULTIMATE URBAN VEHICLE

What makes a car the ultimate urban vehicle? It should be small, yet practical and utilitarian, economical with a small environmental footprint; it should have a good power to weight ratio and be fun to drive. And it shouln't attract too much attention...
How do you turn a standard Polo into such a vehicle? The idea was the following: leave the outside untouched and add some carefully selected motor sport ingredients to the inside:

The list includes the following items:
1.6l 16V engine from Polo GTI with about 125 HP
Reprogrammable engine management system from Motec
5 speed gearbox
Uprated driveshafts, suspension, brakes, rear axle all from Polo G40
Fully adjustable coil over suspension from KW
Adjustable suspension bearings from Salzmann
Complete stainless steel exhaust from Jetec

And what does this all mean? The power to weight ratio of a Lotus Elise in a stealth package that will surprise most fellow road users!

The Polo is now for sale, please get in touch if you are interested (see contacts above). |
