Volkswagen Polo Blue GT 2012: Engines and performance. The German manufacturer Volkswagen has created an edition of the Polo that is able to unite what apparently seems contradictory, sportsmanship with the efficiency of their engines. It has therefore resorted to draw from the Polo Blue Motion Polo GTi and achieve both aspects and benefits of any GTi, but without assuming high fuel consumption, and conserving the environment. The new Volkswagen Polo Blue GT is a small compact but with the qualities of any large vehicle segment of the sport. This version will be available throughout Europe.

On the outside of the vehicle are attractive elements as good exclusive alloy wheels 17 "and the GT emblems on both the front and back of the body. It also has great special sports supplements for this edition, and double chrome tailpipes included diffuser, rear spoiler and fog lights with a single contour for this edition. We also found that the distance between the set and the soil has been reduced 15 mm from the conventional version, thanks to the installation of a new sports suspension system.

Moreover, we also found inside the dose of sportiness and exclusivity that is promised, with a multifunction display with tire pressure gauges, all instruments of the series GTi, cruise control, sports seats and full details and chrome finishes. Elements such as electro hydraulic steering or remote central locking also noted for its great features.

By combining the Blue Motion Polo and Polo GTi, the result is the new Polo Blue GT.
