Volkswagen India for the first time has officially announced the arrival of hottest Polo ever, the Polo GTi. The German automaker will be unveiling the vehicle at the upcoming 2016 Delhi Auto Expo, while it will be launched reportedly later this year.

Speaking of the hot hatches, Fiat Indian launched the first ever serious contender in the form of Abarth Punto this year. It was locally manufactured and offers 145 horses! VW Polo GTi on the other hand, is most likely to come through a CBU (Completely Built Unit) route, instead of local assembly, at least initially!

Differentiating from the stock Polo and Polo GT, VW confirmed that the GTi will come in a three-door avatar in the country. It also comes with LED headlights along with LED daytime running lights and a sportier bumper at the front. At the rear, it comes with LED tail lamps and twin exhaust outlets. The stock Polo’s dashboard has been a little spruced up for GTi, it offers sports seats, GTi flat bottom steering wheel and a 6.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system featuring Apple CarPlay and Google Android Auto along with other stuff.

The highlight of Polo GTi is VW’s 1.8-liter TSi turbocharged petrol motor! The engine generates a colossal 192 PS and max torque of 250 Nm coupled to the 7-Speed DSG dual-clutch automatic.
