January 13, 2016 – The most successful car in the history of the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) is now even better. Volkswagen has made detailed improvements to the Polo R WRC ahead of the new World Championship season, which kicks off with the iconic Rally Monte Carlo from 21 to 24 January 2016.
The few cautious changes to the equipment used by three-time world champions Sébastien Ogier/Julien Ingrassia, as well as Jari-Matti Latvala/Miikka Anttila and Andreas Mikkelsen/Anders Jæger, were undertaken with a view to increasing the car’s reliability.
Minor modifications have been made to the Polo R WRC – and not just under the bonnet. Changes have also been made to the design of the front of the car, giving the 318-hp four-wheel drive powerhouse an even more striking appearance.
With 34 wins from 39 WRC rallies, the Polo R WRC is the most successful rally car of all time after just three seasons.
