Fob163 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 the engine cover says 1.2 TDI >.< so confusing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patroddy Posted July 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) thats because its a 1.2 tdi engine?" Lupo 3LLupo 3LThe Lupo 3L was a special-edition made with the intent of being the world's first car in series production consuming as little as 3 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres (78 miles per US gallon or 94 miles per Imperial gallon). To achieve this the 3L was significantly changed from the standard Lupo to include:1.2 litre 3-cylinder diesel engine with turbocharger and direct injection (61 hp, 140 Nm)Use of light-weight aluminum and magnesium alloys for doors, bonnet (hood), rear-hatch, seat frames, engine block, wheels, suspension system etc. to achieve a weight of only 830 kg (1,830 lb)Tiptronic gearboxEngine start/stop automatic to avoid long idling periodsLow rolling resistance tiresBattery location moved to rear for better weight distributionChanged aerodynamics, so a CW value of 0,29 was achievedDuring the period of series production of the Lupo 3L, Volkswagen also presented the 1L Concept, a prototype made with the objective of proving the capability of producing a roadworthy vehicle consuming only 1 litre of fuel per 100 kilometres (235 miles per US gallon).The Lupo 3L shared its engine and special gearbox with the Audi A2 1.2 TDI 3L. As a result of this and other changes, this Audi A2 is also capable of reaching the same results as the Lupo 3L.A popular colour of the Lupo was the wisteria coloured one, a purple hue commonly mistaken for baby blue. The official name for this colour is Planetsilver."THANKS WIKIPEDIA Edited July 4, 2012 by patroddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rapidebrothers Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Might be awkward trying to obtain insurance for it, as it's not registered over here, so that would need to be done first, for who ever buys it!Price is good for a rare little car, but that wing looks terrible on it! Plus strange that it has odd rear lamps, makes you wonder why - had an accident or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
