Hey All, I just want to know really if the Lupo Gtis are actually any good as on paper they seem to be quite an ammusing car to have as I want to keep the Corrado for sunny days in the summer and I want to put it away as a project so yeah I really want something to blast around in and obviously have some fun in whilst the Corrado is hibernating for the winter!!! So does anybody rate or hate the Lupo Gtis or does anyone have any suggestions otherwise? Cheers Tom
used to own one....addictive, fun, nippy Loved it...sold it towards a new house tho[:^(] crap gearbox's tho (APPARENTLY!) Edited by: Vento Mike
Heya, Ive had 2 lupo gti's and i'd love to have another, great cars and quicker than what vw say they are, all tests confirm this,ie autocar Deffo get one, Taz
Polo GTI's are alot cheaper, but then Lupo's styling looks more like a GTI. Also on a Lupo forum, the earlier 5 speed gearbox model Lupo GTI's were quicker on the 0-60mph and quarter mile than the later 6 speed models! There's some video of it someone around the net!
@s3lupo that must be one mad scary car!!! what types of cars do you like "shocking" then?? type r's, beemers etc??
What cars does he like shocking in that S3 lupo?! Type R's he'd urinate all over, and it'd take an M3 no probs i reckon esp with 314hp at the wheel!!! Hp per ton is silly!, must slaughter most cars on the road!
hp per ton isn't everything though! my mk1 16v may have more hp per tonne than nissan pulsars but dont mean it'll beat them!!
Pulsars are 4wd though! So maybe 4wd will be troublesome off the lights, but once that little beast gets rolling, it'll pull like a tank given good traction conditons! Judging from 1/4 mile video's of S3/1.8t Lupo's they still seem to put down the power very well and go like stink!
Venom stats for S3 lupo Performace Tests Approximately 300BHP! 0 - 60 in 4.9 Seconds Top Speed 160MPH 1/4 in 12.9 Seconds
There my old figureshere is a short clip it gets traction okay it ways 1 tonne on the nose http://www.zippyvideos.com/6748052711846566/clip4/Hope you like it sounds better on full chat
Hmmmmmm thats one hell of a Lupo!!! 12.9 for a 1/4 thats impressive!!! But dunno if I fancy razzing about in a 300+ BHP Lupo every day of the week!!! Seems a bit lairy to me!!! I wander what 160 in a Lupo feels like!! Don't think i've done over a tonne in a car that small!!!! So any more opinions on the Polo or Lupo for that matter??? Would prefer to get a Lupo GTi but they are about 2K more than a Polo GTi! Are they worth the extra?? Wait a second!!!! There was a car very similar to this Ebay recently claiming to be 338BHP is that yours or someone elses??!!! What made you go for the Green???? sounds gorgeous tho!!! that last gear you hear seems to go on forever!!! Edited by: symtheus
The lupo feels great off the clock it bounces the limiterDrives like a factory car Yes it is for sale on Ebay due to new project
Well good luck with it. Do you reckon you can sell it on Ebay?? I have seen a couple of seriously nice cars not sell on there... Not sure if the Chav car buyers of ebay are ready for such a beast lol!!!
