Volkswagen Malaysia has unveiled a new variant of the Polo hatchback that is inspired by the Polo R WRC, called the Polo Trophy.
Jari-Matti Latvala together with his co-driver Miikka Anttila made a quick pit stop here before heading to the Australia rally. Volkswagen Group Malaysia Managing Director Armin Keller was also present at the launch event at the Setia City Convention Centre car park.
Taking cues from the Volkswagen Polo R WRC, the newly-launched Polo Trophy features side and bonnet stickers, black spoiler and side mirrors. Inside, the new Polo gets a new head unit with satellite navigation and tinted windows.
“We are proud to have with us today Jari-Matti Latvala and Miikka Anttila at the launch of this limited edition Polo Trophy designed especially for Malaysian and WRC fans,” Keller said at the launch event.
The rest of the Volkswagen Polo Trophy remains identical to the regular Polo 1.6 hatchback, including the 1.6-litre MPI engine with 105 PS and 153 Nm of torque. Power is sent to the front wheels via a six-speed automatic with Tiptronic.
Interested buyers should act quick, as Volkswagen Malaysia is only offering 100 units of the Polo Trophy. Priced at RM89,888, the Polo Trophy packs extra value for money at the same price point as before.
