    Volkswagen Polo GTI Edition 25 Not Headed for South Africa

    The first Volkswagen Polo GTI was revealed back in 1998 so for the 25th anniversary, the performance subcompact hatchback is getting the special edition treatment to mark the important milestone.

    The Polo GTI Edition 25 features a few cosmetic upgrades but nothing under the hood is changed which means the 2.0 TSI still pushes out 204 hp (152 kW) and 320 Nm (236 lb-ft) of torque. This is delivered to the front wheels via a 7-speed DCT box allowing a 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) run in 6.5 seconds.

    This limited edition is kitted with sports suspension that lowers the body by 15 mm (0.6 inches). It is also gifted an electronic differential lock, adaptive matrix LED headlights and some stylish 18-inch Adelaide wheels finished in glossy black to match the dark side mirror caps and roof.

    Customers can order the car with one of the following paints; Smoke Grey Metallic, Pure White, Ascot Grey, Reef Blue Metallic, Deep Black Pearl Effect, and Kings Red Metallic.

    Save for the subtle body graphics and the “One of 2500” logo on the sill panel trim, this Edition 25 is effectively the same as the regular Polo GTI.

    Just 2500 units will be made in South Africa but will not be available in South Africa. “Polo GTI Edition 25 is only for European and Japanese markets”, Volkswagen South Africa confirmed.

    We know what will inevitably happen though, someone will make their regular Polo GTI look just like one of these and to be fair it’s not that hard.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
