The Polo Worthersee is a bit more show and less go, but hey - it's a Polo. It's a basic 1.4L Polo with 86 thundering horsepower (what, no 1.8T swap? Come on, VW.) Highlights on the outside include the Flash Red paint with black "rally stripes", and some rather striking 18" two-tone "Budapest" alloy wheels. It's also been lowered a bit so those wheels can fill the wells with more authority. The interior is treated to black high-gloss finish in multiple places, bringing the classiness up a bit. Two-tone black leather and white microfiber seats are a nice touch, too.
