No chance lol on a good day the new one will do 110mph, if conditions are absolutely perfect maybe 115mph. Like 185kph tops

You'll need around 120BHP to do that sort of speed on average.

lol really a friend yesterday told me his polo can reach 200km/h to prove it he'll take a pic of speedometer

its more to do with gearing and what type of road he is on

and remember there is a difference between true speed and what's indicated on the speedometer

If he is going down a hill with a tailwind.....then he still probably wont do 200kmh once the engine hits its rev limit in top gear then you wont go any faster. A polo 1.4 probably wouldnt do 200kmh even if it was dropped out of a plane

A friend of mine has a 1.6i polo motor mated to a 4 spd box in his 83 mk1 golf,cai, branch and a home built free flow exhaust. His car limits in third gear at 200km/h, in 4th it can be taken almost all the way round back to the zero. Stock polo with stock gearing, I dont think so

I quoted 120bhp because really you need a certain amount of power to reach 200kph because of the coefficient of drag. Said coefficient of drag being close these days means that you need so much power to reach such a roadspeed as a minimum. 200kph usually needs about 120bhp in any modern bodied car.
