The lupo has various size engines. 1.0 as well. 1.4 16v had 2 variants. Normal version, and a sport version. The sport version had a 254 intake cam. Then you get the lupo gti, which has a zippy 1.6 16v engine producing 125hp, which revs until 7000rpm.
Don’t forget the sdi and tdi diesel variants
That Mk3 came from Jersey which is off the coast of France but is a UK territory, the speed limit is max 40mph everywhere! It’s a small island too So that car will have had an easy life!
Derek Warwick who owns the dealership it came from is an ex British touring car driver too 😎
Biggest engine in the Lupo is the 1.7 SDI, which is also the slowest lol. They did a 1.6 16v GTi version aswell with 125bhp. That green one is the 1.4 16v with 75 bhp, there's a 101bhp 1.4 16v aswell. They also came with a 1.4 8v with 60 bhp and the smallest 1.0 50bhp (I had the old Skoda engine in my first 1.0 Lupo and the later 1.0 MPI in my black Lupo)
Lupo content is awesome, a lot of MK3 and MK4 mods can be done to it
1.7 sdi I’ve seen those slow little boys with 350.000 miles here in uk
you forgot 1.4 TDI 75 BHP and much better than the 1.7sdi. i have one myself
@@ANDREROMATECH very true! And the 1.4 tdi is also the one that comes with the 02J shifter box often used in older vw swaps, like the VR5 B3 Passat i have done 😎
1.8t 20v swap here common in the Netherlands
The alloys look like OZ polaris from back in the day. The used to be for sale in all the car mags in the UK.
That lupo is the 74bhp version. They did a lupo sport with 100bhp (I currently have one) 1.4l as well but different engine code, there was also a lupo GTI, which came with a 1.6l and 125bhp.
Dont want to be a dick but it was a 101hp 74kw version..
This is indeed the 75hp version..
@@henrymeurs1271The 101 hp modell comes with 256mm Front disk and Lucas brake caliper and 230mm disc brake rear, and different rear Diffusor with middle exhaust tip. This is 55kw 75 Hp modell .
Read everything..he was talking about the fact they made a 100hp lupo.. but it was a 101hp not a 100.@@CANERm3
i have a lupo, but im in england where we just have them, theyre good cars
The blue Golf in the UK market was called a Colour (with the 'U') Concept, towards the end of the MK3 life. You could buy them in Yellow, Green, Blue and I think red , and fitted with Recaro seats The VR6 HIghline models could be got in black or a mulberry/purple but they came without the Recaro's just standard seats with the squib either black or purple and matching door cards.
Man loves calling a MK1 Caddy a rabbit 😂
Yeah in the US they’re called rabbit trucks
I’ve never thought you are a fan of vw polo’s 😂❤🇿🇦
Congrats wobblenutz!
This video makes me super excited for my yellow one to come in!
The lupo in UK came in 1.0, 1.4 16v 75hp, 1.4 16v sport 100hp with centre exit exhaust and then the lupo gti 1.6 125bhp with alloy bonnet and wider arches. There was a diesel 1.7 sdi.
Also seat made the same car with exception of the gti that was a Arosa Tbh probably rarer but less sort after.
I finally got around to watching this. Super fun day my friend. This is what I love about RUclips, the memories will live on for forever (potentially). I’ll have my video up soon as well, definitely appreciate the shots of the Mk3. Josh brought up doing a VR swap again today, and I’m thinking ultimately that may be the move. To anyone else reading this if you want to follow along with the Mk3 build give me a follow. I also have a cool purple S4 if that peaks your interest at all 😎
Ive had one, a silver open air (folding cabrio top) loved the car. 15" bbs rs 7" front 8" in the back.
Look for a lupo 3L stearing wheel
I think the fuel gage is showing the wrong way. When it was empty, it shows full and when you filled it up, it actually showed empty.
Just got myself a lupo as well. ❤ look after him, they are almost classic cars by now. Many greetings from germany
Was so awesome to see this car in person at C&C Urotuning 😎✌️
Sounds like Christian is in LOVE with that Lupo!
The Lupos are pretty good for what they are, actually I was considering one as a first car and almost went to look at a Fox (the Lupo successor, around the Mk5 era) as I wanted a Mk4 Golf but couldn't afford the insurance as car insurance in the UK is horrendous. Instead, I went for a Ford Fiesta, which I've had for almost 4 years now. Though I've seen a few nice Lupo examples, including some Lupo GTIs.
Also I was meant to post on the previous video and it's going to be a somewhat long one so please prepare yourself: Congratulations on reaching 50k subs, you really deserve it dude. I've been watching your videos since around the summer of 2019 back when you were in Karlsruhe and honestly thank you for the videos, they've been really fun to watch over the years. Personally I'm more of a gamer than a mechanic but I've always liked cars and car culture as well, I'm a Fiesta enjoyer (Mk3s in particular) and have a soft spot for Golfs too, I really liked watching through the project builds like the Savoy and Pink Floyd to name some. But yeah, it's been a real pleasure seeing you progress over the years and hope to see more :)
It was great hanging out with you. The Lupo was a nice view in the rear view through the GTI window!
Used to have a 1.0 50 hp and a 1.6 125 hp GTI. Lovely cars (especially the GTI ofc) and would be very unique in the US.
i have a 1999 lupo 1.4 16v in the uk, its awesome, doing some mods to make it quicker soon, they can get to around 110hp with little effort, just an aftermarket backbox, intake manifold from the 1.6 16v 125hp engine and a bigger throttle body, also everyone in the uk loves a lupo too, they're awesome little things
So sick, I love it. See you soon bro
Parked next Miley, I cant help but imagine the 3spoke wheels would look amazing on the Lupo.
Same dash in the South African Polo Classic and Playa, which is based on Seat Ibiza and Seat Cordoba.
2 TDI diesel engines were used as well
@10:20 Ah, the VW Lupo with the reliable penny pincher 1.4 in mamba green.
@12:09 Sorry, bro, you are mistaken. Apart from the 1.4 FSI and 105 horses, there was the GTI with 1.6 and 125 horses and over 125 mph top speed. ☺ The Seat Arosa came first but best engine configurations where exclusive to the higher tear brand VW.
@15:42 It is based on the Polo but was still the cheapest type of car in the lineup.
The biggest engine you can get in a Lupo is the Gti, it’s a 1.6 Gti (same as the polo) i have a 2001 Moon silver one on my drive
Great little car, 125bhp centre exit twin exhaust, xenon headlamps, aluminium bonnet wings & doors
Goes like stink for a little car, it’s like a mini version of a Mk5 R32
Technically, the 1.7 sdi is bigger, but also slower lol
in Denmark we have several lupo gti with 1.8t
Christian, shut the front door , that little thing is so cute .It should already be here on American soild. The😢 color combo is stupid , who ever gets that car is not going to have much to do. The thing is sick already. Engine Swap 1.8 k04 turbo or Vr-6 2.8 or 3.2 manual will work. later
The Lupo GTI is amazing!!!
These VWs in today's video are Amazing 👍🏻 I saw the Lupo in person Saturday at URO Tuning, Very 😎 Hopefully we will see the Lupo and Mk3 RHD GTI are future VW shows in the future ... like URO Tuning Kaffee & Octane 01/24 and Euro Tripper 02/24 🚗
I have a Gti sitting at my fam Storage in Germany ( Waiting to be Imported) I can't F wait to have it.
Have always loved the Lupo sure is cooler than the UP just some 13-15 inch wide wheels and all the way down to the road :) i would probs go with a 3L though love my diesels and well it can always get a 1.9pd in time :P
Did the Lupo sound similar to the 1.6 16v Bora wagon? Pretty sure that rough cold start brought you back some memories😅. All 16v VW engines from that era sound like this. I also have a 1.6 16v Mk4 Golf
I've always wanted a lupo and now i think i have to buy one
It's a polo 6n sa edition 1.4 ,1.6 , 1.8 fuel injection
Dude, I would love a Lupo either that or a Golf/Rabbit Lupo is sweet!
На гольфе не 2E мотор, скорее всего AGG или ADY.
If you do import a lupo then you need the gti 😉
Was putting xenon light on it in the past and everyone let me overtake on hightway due of the 911 headlights looking view in the mirror 😂
+1 for VR6 swap! Make it the GTI it should have been from the factory :D
The lupo should either stay with a 1.4 with an exhaust bc they sound so good or 1.8 swap or 1.6 Gti swap don’t do VR6 please 🙏
A VR didn't fit....the car is to narrow
@@tt-rs1457 I know the 1.8t fits and they made a few Lupo GTI’s with 1.6 16v n/a but VR5 or VR6 just won’t fit as a 1.8t or 1.9pd130 only just squeeze into that tiny engine bay and tbh they are more then enough power for a lupo
We get lupo GTI 1.6 16 valve 125bhp in the uk
Lupo Gti has 1,6 125 hp
where'd you get it, import process etc...
I wouldn’t mind owning that Lupo. How much, and how do I contact the owner ?
jazz blue need to collect, what for lupik золупик?
I definitely want a lupo but for now I want to do the opposite!
I’m going in may to Japan to propose to my ex girlfriend and I want to drive my Scion FRS when I’m there so I’m looking for someone who can import and export my car back to me after my trip in Japan!
I know that as long as I don’t sell or transfer ownership I don’t pay import taxes and similar fees on the car but am not sure about shipping and the time it taxes to do so!
im sure thats an ady not a 2e, 2e has a long intake, well seeing as though its in a mk3 thats an agg maybe
What happened to the mk2
Get some Lupo louvres from Scirocco Louvre guy
Do a 1.9tdi (Arl) swap or 1.8t (first audi TT engine 220hp) Swap
A caddy is not a rabbit
In the US it’s called a rabbit truck
buy it Smith
The turtle!
love it,,
The Lupo is for sale???
Why does the lupo's rims look so big 😂
Miley's front passenger side tire looks flat as hell
Trust me the car is way to mutch fun but dont be so afraid for high RPM...
Trust me the lupo's looooove high RPM...
Not in first gear tho but in 2nd gear..
Btw why are you selling it after getting it?
Small engine VWs absolutely love the revs😂😂my Polo has a 1.2 12v and loves to be revved. Ehen my mum drives it she shifts at 2k but it likes to go up to 4k or even 5k which is where I shift it's also where the power is
Second!! 🎉 On the Polo Content
38.8mpg
Really wish we had gotten these and the Polo from new... And that the New Beetle had stayed Polo based like the concept car was lol. Cars in the US are too damn big.
Polos don't seem to have much interest in the US as far as the regular public go VW did try to bring it across to the US there was rumours of the mk4 Polo ( made from 2002-2005 then facelifted from 2005-2009 I have a 2009) coming to the US but there wasn't enough interest over the VW models already sold there
@@Afraz_9n3 It sucks because like, not just with VW but across the board, I feel like we're getting way too addicted to size. Worldwide VW makes over 15 different models of SUV not even counting variants like the "Crozz" whatevers and IIRC not even 10 cars anymore
@@christopherwilliams9418 yep it's a serious issue. Made worse by the fact the US has a 25 year wait to import anything too. Here in the UK we can just import anything even if it's brand new we just have to pay the import tax and shipping and the fee to register it. Big cars are also a problem here SUVs are increasingly common and it's got to the point that many multi storey car parks could crumble to the ground because of the weight of if the cars nowadays. A lot of them don't even fit in the spaces anymore cos the car parks were designed in the 70s and cars were much lighter and smaller then. the Polo and golf will actually be discontinued in 2 years time and the VW Up! The lupos successor and the ford fiesta was also discontinued this year. Small cars are very hard to find in new models
But 4 door
Lupo gti 1.6 16 v
Lupo Gti 92kw here says that is not the biggest engine for that car…
That Mk3 came from Jersey which is off the coast of France but is a UK territory, the speed limit is max 40mph everywhere! It’s a small island too So that car will have had an easy life!
Derek Warwick who owns the dealership it came from is an ex British touring car driver too 😎
