This is the first Polo generation Volkswagen refused to build with three doors at all.
The GTI's twincharged 1.4 made 180 PS by stacking a supercharger and turbo on the same engine.
A 130 PS diesel wore the badge GT, built alongside a sedan version made in Brazil, South Africa and China.
This was the first Polo ever offered with a turbodiesel, a 1.9-litre, though only in 6K models before the 2000 facelift.
A tiny supercharged Polo quietly set world records: the limited GT G40 used VW's G-Lader supercharger for 1300cc-class endurance records, years before the same tech reached the Golf G60.
It was the cheaper twin of the Audi 50, which sold so poorly Audi killed its own car off in 1978.
