The Volkswagen German based automaker has finally announced the upcoming of the new Polo GTI, which has been updated with a lot of features, making its final debut at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, this October.

The Volkswagen Polo GTI facelift is almost entirely unrecognizable in terms of visuals, as it now sports fresh new and much sportier front and rear bumpers, honeycomb grille inserts, red accents or a dual exhaust system.
