Black Dynamic and Golf GTI 'White Concept.' While we have already seen the GTI Cabriolet and Polo R-WRC, the rest of the concepts are all new. 

The Polo WRC Street will be the real star of the show. It is inspired by the new Polo rally car and comes powered with a 220ps, 2.0l TSI engine. Inside, it has Alcantara seats embroidered with the WRC logo and an Alcantara-covered steering wheel. It also features a rear spoiler, rear diffuser and sport suspension. Volkswagen says that it plans to sell a small number of these in 2013.

Near the Street will be the Polo R-WRC that will actually be rallying at the highest level next year. It uses a 1.6 TSI engine with 300ps. 

The GTI Black Dynamic is the car that VW's apprentices have been working on tuning. With ages from 18 to 24 the team of men and women painted the car a deep black and fitted a black and red interior. It has a 1,800 watt sound system located in the rear cargo area. 

VW will also show the GTI Cabriolet, which VW has already begun taking orders for. It has a power-folding top and is powered by the GTi's 210hp, 2.0TSI engine. It uses VW's XDS electronic limited-slip differential on the front axle and is available with either a six-speed DSG or six-speed manual gearbox.

Finally, VW will also show the GTI Concept White that aims to move the GTI more upscale. It has a matte Oryx White exterior with black and red interior. The sport seats are covered in black Nappa leather with red stitching on them, the steering wheel, handbrake and armrests. 

We did not get a glimpse of the next GTI like we had hoped, but we did get the Polo WRC Street that will be the most power Polo ever. With a GTI powerplant in an even smaller package, the car will definitely be quick.
