ABT Sportline revealed some of its finest creations to be displayed at this year’s Essen Motor Show, and among them there is this little beast, the VW Polo R WRC Street. This car has been the subject of many tuning programs recently. ABT’s take on the car extract 290 horsepower from its 2.0 liter TSI engine.

That’s a healthy improvement over the car’s standard 220 horsepower, and when paired with 420 nm of torque, it can take the car from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.0 seconds and on to a top speed of 260 km/h. The cost of the engine treatment, including the bespoke ABT Power chip tuning software, is 1,949 €.

ABT VW Polo R WRC also gets a couple of new design 18-inch wheels, including a very special DR series in gunmetal with 215/35 R18 tires that costs just over 3,000 € for a complete set.

All you get for the interior, for the time being, is a set of black with silver embroidered ABT logo floor mats and some illuminated sills, again with ABT logo.
