Automotive designer hycade on YouTube has taken a creative approach to an incredible place and created a widebody version of the Volkswagen Polo. The widebody treatment takes the tiny VW from a subtle hatchback to a performance-inducing hot hatch with a bold, striking design. The video shows design changes made to the Polo to create the widebody design and includes changes all around the car.
Turning The VW Polo Into A Widebody Stunning
The YouTube video shows the Polo widebody parked outdoors, and it is immediately a head turner from the moment the camera begins to pan away from the Volkswagen logo. The Polo widebody features a full body kit that drastically alters the appearance of the car. Side air intakes, fender flares, larger tires, custom wheels, wider quarter panels are a few of the immediately visible alterations made to the Polo. The modifications show a car that is ready for speed and performance in a way that a traditional Polo would never dare. Side skirts, upgraded exhausts and a wing on the rear hatch that has hycade's name finish out the look of the modified car.
Hycade mentions in the description of the YouTube video that the Polo widebody has an Audi R8 V10 engine in the back, a massive upgrade from any of the VW's stock engine options. Comments in the YouTube video draw comparisons to the upcoming Toyota Corolla GR hatch as well as numerous requests to make the widebody kit available for sale to add to other Polos.
A Different Vision For The VW Polo
The Volkswagen Polo is one of the smallest vehicles in Volkswagen's lineup and has consistently been one of Europe's best-selling vehicles. The Polo has been on the road since 1975 and offered in several variants over its lifespan. The current Polo, the sixth generation for the car, debuted for the 2017 model year and is available in a variety of 1.3 and 1.4L engines in gasoline and diesel variants. While the Polo has been a popular economy car for decades, a widebody rendering introduces an entirely new persona to the Polo that shows the creative vision of automotive designers like hycade.
