The Volkswagen Polo Mk2 and Polo Mk2F were available as supercharged G40 models - called the Volkswagen Polo G40 (sometimes also called Volkswagen Polo GT G40, Volkswagen Polo G-40, or simply Volkswagen Polo G).
At the heart of the Polo GT G40 was its 1.3 litre G40 internal combustion engine (engine ID code: PY). It displaced 1,272 cubic centimetres (77.6 cu in) from a cylinder bore of 75.0 millimetres (2.953 in), and a piston stroke of 72.0 millimetres (2.835 in). The G40s 'G-Lader' supercharger had an inlet diameter of 40 mm (1.57 in), hence the "G40" name. This G40 engine produced a maximum motive power output of 85 kilowatts (116 PS; 114 bhp) at 6,000 revolutions per minute (rpm), and generated a torque turning force of 148 newton metres (109 lbf·ft) at 3,600 rpm.
Stopping power included uprated front disc brakes, now radially ventilated, sized at 239 millimetres (9.4 in) in diameter by 20 millimetres (0.787 in) thick, with ATE single-piston sliding calipers.
Standard roadwheels were 13x5.5 ET38 silver 'Hockenheim' alloy wheels with 175/60 H13 tyres.
