My new car... 1600cc, 130bhp, 950kg

Defcon5 · 16 Mar 2008 at 21:14

After thoroughly wiping out the Corsa (http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17842152) the sensible option was to get a car with twice the power obviously!

So without further ado, my Lupo GTI...

Only 1000 made afaik, and I am very, very happy to own it.

Will get some better pics up tomorrow if I can.

Like it?

For some reason i like the Lupo GTi's, alwasy remember the one that was done with Porsche wheels, loved it!

I really, really dont like those

It's everything I dislike about cars in one car.

Still, looks tidy and appears to have OEM Xenons as well? Nice to have and rare on a car like that.

I have a gut feeling that I shouldn't like it, but I really really do.

A guy on ClubLupo got an Eaton supercharger from a Cooper S and shoehorned that into his, think its about 190bhp!

I've always thought these were pretty cool.

Looks nice apart from the wheels

1.6 123bhp and 0-60 in 8 seconds, you sure about that?

Does look really nice however.

DanTheMan · 16 Mar 2008 at 21:33

Not my type of car at all, can imagine it being fun to drive but it just does nothing for me.

It's one of those utterly meaningless 'omg get nitrous lol' comments which add nothing to thread but inevitably create a petty arguement over which cars are faster.

I really like it, good little runner that! I really wanted a Polo GTI at once stage in my life, I am sure the lupo goes like stink for it's size though?

Quick enough for me! 6 gears too so you only drop about 1200rpm when changing gear

um no

i came across one of these that used to roam the kirkcaldy area circa year 2000 or so was running a few tweaks with a healthy dose of nitrous, was more than a match for my 200 horse RST although from what i heard it did melt the engine not long after

GET IT STRIPPED and more POWAH

Nice.It may be little but i bet it drives like a go-kart, and its plenty power in reality to have some fun.

My only gripe with these is how much they cost, way overpriced cos of the badge.
