SCOOP! Volkswagen Polo GT TDI diesel caught in the open

Pictures of Volkswagen's Polo wearing GT and TDI badging, confirming a Diesel hot hatch have been posted on auto website oncars.in.

The badging and "Estrada” 15" alloy wheels (as seen on the Petrol GT TSI), indicate that this Polo comes with a Diesel engine. The car was spotted with a Vento and a Rapid.

The Polo GT TDI is likely to come with the 1.6L Diesel from the Vento and Rapid. The Polo GT TDI will be quick too, since it is 90 Kg lighter than the Vento. The rest of the kit for the interiors and exteriors are likely to remain the same. 

VW ran its Polo R Cup with a 1.6L Diesel that made 129 BHP (104 BHP in stock form) for 2 seasons in 2010 and 2012.

It will be interesting to see how Volkswagen prices the Polo GT TDI. The Polo 1.2L GT TSI is already stratospherically priced approaching almost Rs 10 Lakh (OTR) in cities like Bangalore.
