There are far too many reasons to list why so many people are addicted to the World Rally Championship, but if you insist, then maybe this video of Sebastien Ogier test driving the new Volkswagen Polo WRC in Finland will provide some answers.
The race-prepped Polo is currently undergoing development ahead of its WRC premiere in the 2013 season.
The Polo WRC packs a 1.6-liter turbocharged TSI engine that delivers a maximum output of about 300 HP and 350 Nm (258.1 lb-ft) of torque. Weight is limited to 1,200 kg (2,645 pounds) and power is transferred to all four wheels via a racing sequential gearbox.
