VW's Polo R WRC debuted in Monte Carlo in January - and finished second. The high performance Polo goes from zero to 100 in just 6.4 seconds and has a maximum speed of 243 kilometers an hour. That makes it considerably more powerful than the Polo GTI. In Germany, you can buy a street version of the car for 33,900 euros. But with a production run of just 2,500, you'll have to hurry.
