Our Take:
- The 2002 Volkswagen Lupo GTI is a delightful gem for enthusiasts who cherish compact performance. Often referred to as a "pocket rocket," this little powerhouse is celebrated for its impressive power-to-weight ratio, thanks to its lightweight design of just 950 kg and a punchy 1.6-liter engine delivering 125 horsepower.
- Known for its rarity, especially in North America, the Lupo GTI was never officially sold in markets like the USA or Canada. This European Left-Hand-Drive (LHD) example brings an exotic charm and an air of exclusivity that many collectors find irresistible.
- The Red on Creamy White leather interior is not only a rare color combo but a testament to early 2000s style—think of it as a snapshot of a bygone era with a bit of flair. Original features like xenon lights and red seatbelts add to its authentic appeal, making it a tidy package of both nostalgia and performance.
- This particular Lupo GTI stands out with its coilover suspension and aftermarket wheels, suggesting it's been tailored for those who love a spirited drive. Yet, the inclusion of original polished alloy rims and a unique black headliner maintains the car's classic roots for purists who appreciate Volkswagen's attention to detail.
