With Volkswagen retiring from the WRC before the 2017 season, they never got a chance to use their new and highly awaited Polo R WRC. But now we still might be lucky enough to see it live and in action.
VW Motorsport director Sven Smeets admits that they have a Polo R WRC at the factory, that is ready with full Monte Carlo settings and livery.
Here's what Smeets told Autosport:
"It's not going anywhere, and one day we will show it in the way we should show it - so people can look at it as the proper car and not the zebra car because of course, everybody knows this car.
We have not had much time to think how, when or where we show it, but it's here and the target would be to present it like it was the start of Monte Carlo. It's in all of our interests to do this, but we have to speak to our partners about this first."
It should be interesting to finally get to see the car without the camouflage -what could be the new winning car for VW had they not pulled out.
VW came in WRC just to erase the fume scandal after they fix their image they left .... too bad for the people who work really hard on the Polo R WRC

I disagree with you. As far as I can see, the emissions scandal is a big part of what made them retire from WRC.

It's true that VW has to redeem itself but the more car manufacturers there are on WRC the more interesting the competition is... And the Polo R WRC is one of the best car.
