VW Polo GTI R5 put through its paces in Sweden

The new Volkswagen Polo GTI R5 has been successfully put through its paces in Sweden by three world rally champions.
The four-day test took place near the Swedish town of Kall, where temperatures as low as -15°C (-60°F) and an icy surface with many snow banks along the 4km section of route ensured ideal conditions for such a test.
Test driver Petter Solberg, who competes in the FIA World Rallycross Championship with PSRX Volkswagen Team Sweden, said, “It was just fantastic to be back behind the wheel of a rally car again and to help out the Volkswagen family.
“It was a really fun day. The team has done such a great job and the car is fantastic to drive. I didn’t want to get out at the end of the day.
“We covered almost 300km in one day – very different to what I’m used to in the WRC. I used my years of rallying experience to work with the engineers on small changes to the car. A big thanks to all the team for their work, and to Veronica Engan for stepping into the co-driver’s seat.”
