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?

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.

Bi-Xenons Ill have you know

sweet looking motor

get some gas in there and go scare some silly cars

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

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

I do like these little motors, but there expensive for what they are.

I know they didn't make many for the UK market - any idea on #'s?

1015kg according to Parkers: http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/specs/Detail.aspx?deriv=20499

Whatever, nice car

Some have aluminium door and bonnet panels, so weigh less.
