MONACO — The Volkswagen Polo R WRC racecar was launched last weekend, along with the 2013 Volkswagen Polo R WRC, a road-going version that is set to go on sale in Europe late next year.

The limited-edition production Polo R WRC is priced at the U.S. equivalent of $33,900 and features a white exterior paint treatment and blue-and-gray stripes.
The first round of the WRC will be the Monte Carlo Rally on January 15.
