2004 Volkswagen Lupo GTI 6-speed manual For Sale by Auction
French registration papers
Chassis number WVWZZZ6EZ5B001197
- Rare French version fitted with 6-speed manual gearbox
- Only 75, 000km (46, 600 miles)
- A proper hot hatch to use every day
At the beginning of the 21st century, Volkswagen reigned supreme in the market for family cars and the ‘GTI’ logo remained synonymous in Wolfsburg with cars that had history and a soul. When Volkswagen decided to apply its recipe to the smallest model in its range, enthusiasts waited for the chance to catch it out. Transplanted into the Lupo, the 1600cc 16-valve engine developed a trifling 125bhp, while the numerous aluminium components allowed a weight saving of 110kg (240lb). Two versions of the manual transmission were available, with either five or six speeds. With its favourable power-to-weight ratio, some even saw in the Lupo a revival of the original GTI spirit. Despite this, the little Lupo GTI failed to find its place in the market, the result above all of an excessively high price, due in turn to the particularly high research and development costs VW incurred. But these costs resulted in a Lupo GTI which was very well resolved and had many undeniable qualities; today, it perfectly embodies the spirit of the modern classic movement.
The car which we are presenting for sale is a rare six-speed manual version which had covered a total of just 75, 000km (46, 600 miles) at the time of our test. Delivered new on 14 December 2004 by the Volkswagen dealership Jean Lain Automobiles at Seynod, it has been consigned to us by a Lupo GTI fan. More widely sold in Germany, it is hard to find a French-market car fitted with the six-speed gearbox. The Lupo GTI we are offering today is in perfect condition, its bodywork close to new. The grey cloth upholstery with red stitching on the edges is impeccable and all the equipment fitted works correctly. Our first impression when driving the Lupo was that this was just another city car, easy to drive and with no surprises in mechanical terms. But as soon as we took to the country backroads, we realised just how talented this little sports car really is. The Lupo GTI has excellent roadholding and its feisty temperament came through straightaway as we stepped up the pace. The twin exhaust pipes also let us enjoy some of the typical GTI soundtrack at higher revs. Regularly serviced in the Volkswagen dealer network, the Lupo will be supplied with its original service booklet.
Estimate: 9, 000 / 14, 000 €
