DubDub Posted June 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Howcome?That would have been awesome.Bet it was lighter than the GTi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubDub Posted June 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 The Arosa Racer is a `mini-sportscar` with dynamic looks that are likely to be seen on a future competition car. Weight reduction has been achieved by the removal of interior furnishings such as the rear seats and side panelling, making the Arosa Racer sportingly minimalist and designed to enhance driving pleasure. Bucket seats, four point racing harnesses and 15" exclusive alloy wheels are also part of the package. Developed jointly by the SEAT Technical Centre and SEAT Sport Research & Development, the Arosa Racer is powered by a 125bhp 1.6 MPi 16 valve engine. Front wheel drive, `6-speed` gearbox, sports suspension and larger wheels combine to ensure an involving drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdwindustries Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 it was at the 2001 frankfurt motorshow.... i think they gave up on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_arosa16v Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 Yea we all think its a shame they didn't bring it into production, but the thing that annoys me more now is that no companies developed copies (similar design) of the front and rear bumpers for us to have style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeman Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 check out the seat shoulder supports in relation to the steering wheel height, bucket seat would have been far to low for short ar ses like me style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_arosa16v Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 hehe not noticed that before and you have a good point cause I even have loads of headroom in my Arosa 16v Sport. I am about 6ft but have set the seat pretty low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGTI Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 shame that one cos its a nice concept and I bet with the low weight it was super fast.....but can understand why they didnt make it cos they hardly sold any sports.....and really its amazing anyone makes aftermarket parts at all for an arosa given theres so few of them on the road.

one litre wonder ;) Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 all i can say is that i think that they only reason that they never built the arosa racer as vw were afraid it would be competition of the vw lupo gti and they could loose sales , also whats this i have heard from my seat garage that they are stopping production of the arosa in a few months and has anybody seen the suposed "new shape " lupo for 2005 yet ???

one litre wonder ;) Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 fair point mate , fair point , but it would of been intersting to see an arosa racer against a lupo gti on the traffic light grand prix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_arosa16v Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 Yea the Arosa would win style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Yeah, but against a stripped out GTi....? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />Swings & roundabouts...That said, if the machine was made I'd be hell of a tempted, it looks ace! The stripped out interior doesnt matter one bit - the loop aint exactly a family car is it? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />I love me lupo, but certainly like the Arosa too - theres a gleaming metallic royal blue `late-style` TDi I see regularly up here & I always think it would be great with white 16's, recaros & a bit of tuning!

Ramirez Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Belive me 15" alloys Stripped interiors and buckets are the way forward. Through the twistys... bliss. Shoppings a lot easier now as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
