Volkswagen Lupo GTI - Bitesize Performance! [Throwback Review]
Hello guys, welcome back to Car Obsession, and welcome to another Throwback Review, the series in which I test cars from yesteryear. This time around it's a small but perfectly formed pocket rocket that shares a very similar ethos to the Volkswagen Up! GTI. It's the Volkswagen Lupo GTI, which like the Up!, is compact, light and packs a bit of a punch.
Unlike the Up! GTI, the Lupo GTI makes use of a naturally aspirated 1.6 four-cylinder petrol, whereas the Up! is a 1.0 turbocharged three cylinder petrol. The Lupo offers more power, but less torque. Speaking of which, the Lupo offers 125hp along with 152Nm of torque. This power is fed to the front wheels via a 5-speed manual - later versions had a 6-seed instead.
0-62 is done in 8.2 seconds, which may seem a bit pedestrian, but certainly feels nippy enough when you're driving the car. The top speed in case you're wondering is 127mph.
A massive thank you to fellow RU-vidr @Auto Social UK for letting me borrow her cherished Lupo for a few hours, and a another massive thank you to @PocketRockets to assisting with the filming - be sure to check them both out!

Sorry for the late upload, it's been a problematic/tiring/challenging weekend and I was half asleep when uploaded so I forget to schedule the upload!

There should be a 'BTS' video showing everyone how some of these shots were made 😂 Great video mate!

Bloody love these. Had an '05 1.4 lupo as my first car and, whilst it was down on power at only 75bhp, it's nice how many parallels there are to the GTI in terms of it still sounding and feeling 'meaty'. The body roll was spectacular and I also had issues with the driving position, but the quality was brilliant and was otherwise happy to take it on 5/600 mile round trips! Its a car I'd have held onto if I could have afforded to as it was my grandads and then my parents for 10 years

Love this Wolf for Lupo is Wolf. Best car ever made especially for these high cost petrol price times.

I've always loved small fun cars like these but always needed something more practical. Ibiza mk4 5 door was the smallest car ive owned

The Lupo Gti is like a miniature Mk5 R32……it has all the characteristics, xenon’s, twin centre exhaust and it’s exactly half the power Great little cars, i have owned my 2001 5 speed lupo Gti for 8 years now as a runaround car and it’s been a great, it’s been used for everything, from mega road trips or just popping to the shops Don’t think i Would ever part with it despite having far more exotic cars in the stable

My five speed has AC, but it is broken 😅👍 It is a fantastic car, btw. We want to keep it for our son. Three more years until he can do his drivers licence 😊👌

Had a rare Raven Blue 6 speeder for a while.Fantastic build quality,top standard Xenon headlights.Loved to rev out to the red line.Even had the original tyre sealant/compressor in the boot,where the battery also resides. Only thing i didn't like was the really high bite point of the clutch.But maybe it was on it's way out. Highly recommend one.Just watch out for being tailgated/bullied by boy racers.When they tailgate you they look like they're sitting in the back seat!.
