In this video, a highly modified VW Polo GTI takes on the Nürburgring Nordschleife to prove that the ultimate GTI experience doesn’t always come in Golf form. Featuring lightweight chassis dynamics, upgraded brakes, suspension tweaks, aero components, and around 200 horsepower, this Polo GTI delivers impressive handling and raw driver engagement on one of the world’s most demanding race tracks.

The lap showcases real-world driving impressions, braking performance, alignment challenges, tire behavior, and honest feedback about what works — and what doesn’t — when building a front-wheel-drive hot hatch for track use. If you enjoy Nürburgring POV laps, hot hatch content, and detailed driver analysis, this Polo GTI Nürburgring run is a must-watch.
