Volkswagen has not revealed any details regarding the launch of the Polo GTI although we expect the performance hatch to reach showrooms very soon. Once launched, the Polo GTi will rival the Fiat Punto Abarth and the likes. Expect the 3 door hatchback to arrive with a price tag of approximately Rs. 20 lakhs as the model will come to India through the CBU route.
