Greenmeanie Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 I'm looking at buying a Lupo that says it's a 16v 1.4 S with 75 hp.Wikipedia says there is a 1.4 16v 100hp engine. What's the difference and what needs changed to make mine become the other?Are there other differences like the gearbox or ratios, final drive etc?
