Cooke Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Just thort i'd copy that other thread and see what the times are for a Lupo Sport, I know what Parkers say but i wan't to know your times... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petes 16V Sport Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 (edited) autocar quoted in their test 0-60 in 8.8 seconds.Personally i'm tempted to say around 0-60 in the early nines.The sport engines seem to vary quite lot in power output though based on rolling road data... or it just could be that everyone gets theirs done at different rolling roads!Oh and I have no idea on max speed, never tried.

scotty Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 i had an indicated 122 on the road angel on a private estate road.......the parkers 0-60 is about right, timed mine a few times n get varried results 8.7 8.8 8.9 9.1 think it just depends on the day n conditions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 So long as you dont want to get from 0-80 quickly all Lupos are pretty brisk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babs Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 good performance, but like most 16v's, they require working to get the best out of them style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nev Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Leaving work on a friday seems to be the best 0-60 but a bag of ice in the air box does it for me takes about 2 seconds off...........Dont do the above it can go wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooke Posted June 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 nice... what about C2/Saxo VTR's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOCK Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 (edited) nice... what about C2/Saxo VTR's?Why don't you ask that on a Citroën forum? As a ) no one here will say they are faster, as this is a forum dedicated to VW Lupo's/Arosa's (and i suppose Fox's) and b ) I know you own a Citroën but I'm afraid to say that the great majority of members on here hate them and refer to them as Sh!troëns.NOCKDisclaimer: I have nothing against Citroën and take no responsibility for the comments enlisted above.

nev Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 I work for citroen and own loads of VWs To be fair anything newer then a saxo is good and cant be faulted. As for 0-60 times there all incorrect even for what the manufacturer says.I can beat anything in a Citroen C1 at 68hp even a VTS. But its also down to the driver and being a pro I wouldnt like to say.At the end of the day I would still have a vw over a citroen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOCK Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 (edited) As for 0-60 times there all incorrect even for what the manufacturer says.Always are, always are.I can beat anything in a Citroen C1 at 68hp even a VTS.What do you mean 'anything'?NOCK Edited June 2, 2007 by LUPO NOCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
