VOLKSWAGEN - POLO GT COUPE 1985

Product description

High-quality metal model of the passenger car Volkswagen Polo GT coupe of 1985 in detailed processing and created according to a real model. The model is packed on a pedestal.

The revised Polo (known as the Mark 2 or Mark II, internally designated Type 86C) was introduced in October 1981, with the main change being the introduction of a new body style with a steep (almost vertical) rear window that made the car essentially a station wagon, as well as a version with a diagonal rear window and a similar profile to the previous model. These two body styles were called Hatchback and Coupé, although both were actually three-door hatchbacks. The latter was added to the range in 1983, as the radical style of the original design was not welcomed by everyone. The coupé was originally only available with the more powerful engines (55 and 75 hp), but after a slight facelift in August 1984, the base unit with 40 hp (29 kW) was also available.

The sedan version was no longer called the Derby in all countries and changed to the Polo Classic in all markets from 1984. Production was extended to Spain before SEAT was taken over by Volkswagen in 1986. The Polo began production in Pamplona on April 27, 1984, and the Polo Classic followed in 1985. The hatchback was the lightest body style, 5 kg (11 lb) lighter than the coupé and 15 kg (33 lb) lighter than the three-compartment sedan.
