The new model was handy and uncomplicated, making it a perfect entrylevel model. To keep the price low, the equipment level was deliberately kept simple. In the basic version, the Polo always came with an output of 29 kW (40 PS) and cost only 7,500 German marks. However, it was the better-equipped Polo L, which was available for 8,325 German marks with the same engine, that became a bestseller. Later, new engines delivering 37 kW (50 PS) and 44 kW (60 PS) followed. In addition, the standard equipment was gradually improved and increasingly individualised through the introduction of new equipment versions. From 1977, the Polo was also available with a notchback, which went under the name Derby. In 1979, the Polo GT followed as a top model with sporty equipment and design; at the same time, a facelift with robust plastic bumpers and a new radiator grille perfected the design and aerodynamics. At the beginning of 1981, the efficient Polo Formula E marked the finale of the first generation, which was replaced by the Polo II in the summer of that year. 50 years of Polo Exhibition vehicle manufacture year / Construction period of Polo Generation II 1983 / 1981 to 1994 Power / Engine / Maximum speed 37 kW (50 PS) / 4-cylinder, 1,085 cm3 / 146 km/h 2nd generation I Polo CL VEHICLE NUMBER 2 The Polo CL Formula E Although the E might suggest it, the Polo Formula E is not an electric model. Four decades ago, the world was simply not yet ready for that. But even back then, the lowest possible consumption and emission values were a high priority for Volkswagen. The Formula E was developed for this reason, where E stood for efficiency. In the press kit for the debut of the Polo Formula E, Volkswagen described it as follows in 1981: “A particularly economical solution in the Polo range is the fuelsaving Formula E offering with the 37 kW/50 PS engine designed for premium-grade fuel.

The brand was also planning to expand the lower end of the model segment – where there was demand for a completely new, small compact car. The aim of the modern project was to gain a foothold in the small car segment and pit the new model against competitors from Italy and France. Things had to move quickly – and they did: it took less than three years to progress from the first draft to the start of sales. Audi NSU and its Board Member for Development, Dr. Ludwig Kraus, were on board right from the start. He brought the young designer of the Audi 80, Hartmut Warkuß, into the team. Working closely with Wolfsburg, the basic features of a new compact car in the lower A0 vehicle class were created. Its layout was modern: a two-box design, compact all-in-one solution with a wide-opening boot lid and folding rear bench seat. The project was given an additional boost when Rudolf Leiding joined Volkswagen. Leiding, the former CEO of Audi, knew Ludwig Kraus very well. One thing quickly became clear: the new compact car would be as much Audi as it was Volkswagen! The compact small car covered the customer spectrum from economical to comfortable, acting as a sparring partner for the Golf (and initially the Volkswagen Beetle as well). The Golf for the A-segment was developed at the same time and went into mass production in 1974 – along with the new A0 vehicle, which had been christened the Audi 50. The modular principle was advanced during this time, which allowed the same components to be used in different Group models with largely identical vehicle technology and was intended to ensure the company’s long-term profitability. And this is how the small Audi car from Ingolstadt came to be pro duced at the Volkswagen plant in Wolfsburg from the summer of 1974. The almost identical Volkswagen Polo followed suit, albeit with a slight delay, and went into production on 5 March 1975.
