VOLKSWAGEN LUPO GTI (2001-2004)大众lupoGTI组(2001-2004年)
Volkswagen?s Lupo GTi seemed a slightly odd concept at first.福士?收盘lupoGTI组概念似乎稍微多骤. Imbuing a tiny citycar with premium hot hatch-style fitments and saddling it with a hefty price tag of around £13,000 didn?t appear a winning formula.使得小小的舱口citycar与热补式设备、能使它以13,000英镑左右的代价高昂雾化?看来笔筹谋. After all, the canny buyer could find a fully fledged hot hatch for about the same money and despite its sporting accoutrements, the Lupo GTi always smacked of more show than go, And so it proved.能找到买主的坎尼正式热门舱口约同一货币,尽管其随身体育、更令人瞩目的lupo但GTI总是比去表演,所以证明. Whenever I see one on the road I automatically scan the number plate to see if it reads Volkswagen Press Office and it often does, journalists in press cars counting for a decent percentage of all UK Lupo GTi road miles.每当我看到我在路上一自动扫描车牌是否经常阅读、福士新闻办公室那样记者在新闻象样车票占所有英国lupoGTI学院路英里. If you can track an honest used example down, you should at least ensure some exclusivity.如果你能用来跟踪一个诚实榜样下来,你应该确保至少有排他性.
HISTORY历史
The Lupo was launched back in 1997 but the GTi didn?t debut until 2001.早在1997年推出的lupo但GTI组雾化?直到2001笔亮相. In the interim, the range had been fleshed out by diesel and Sport variants and by the time the GTi made its entrance, the Lupo was no longer new news.在过渡期间,著墨幅度已变,柴油和体育作出了一次GTI学院门口,lupo不再是新的消息. The weighty price tag didn?t help either, many realising that better value was to be found in Volkswagen?s sister marques, Skoda and SEAT.总装雾化代价?无论笔帮助,为了更好地领悟到许多价值被发现福士?姊姊马克斯、小轿车和座位. To put the 125bhp Lupo GTi into some frame of reference, it costs a good deal more than the bigger 150bhp SEAT Ibiza FR.把125bhplupoGTI组成部分参照系,这是一个很好的协议费用超过150bhp席位伊维萨跳频越大. In other words, you really had to be seduced by the chunkily good looking styling of the Lupo to pay that sort of money.换句话说,你可真有勾引的chunkily帅气的造型lupo付数目的金钱. A few were and used examples are now appearing in a trickle.少数人使用的例子,现在出现了滴. In April 2002 the Lupo GTi gained a sixth gear although few who drove the five speed car complained.2002年4月的lupoGTI组第六轮虽然取得了几人驱车五速车抱怨. In May 2003 the car became Euro IV emissions compliant.2003年5月成为欧盟IV汽车排放标准.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
In order to befit the GTi badge and plump sticker price, the Lupo?s interior was given a makeover, with colour-keyed sports seats and belts, coordinated metal pedals, a chubby leather-trimmed steering wheel, the obligatory chrome ringed dials and a slightly dubious GTI gearknob.为了相称GTI学院徽章、贴纸价格肥美,lupo?收盘内政部发出变天,同肤色调座位安全带运动,协调金属脚踏,重达皮革裁剪方向盘强制铬环、拨号略为暧昧gearknobGTI组. Otherwise it?s standard Lupo, itself no bad thing.否则?lupo收盘水准,本身不是坏事. Instead of the usual Citycar fare, the German designers decided on silver-rimmed Italianate twin instrument dials featuring Allen bolts and soothing blue backlighting at night.不是通常citycar票价德国设计师决定银色框意大利展出孪生文书先拨螺栓、和缓艾伦蓝背光在夜间. It would look so good cruising at night in Berlin that for a moment you envy the Germans until you remember their unusual hairstyles and penchant for manmade fibres.这很不错,晚上在柏林表示,巡了一下,德国人羡慕你们,直到你记住他们寻常发型和人工纤维爱好者.
The Lupo GTI wouldn?t qualify as a citycar if it had blotted its copybook with poor economy figures, and the Volkswagen doesn?t disappoint.但GTI的lupowouldn?笔符合成为citycar如果它涂黑其字帖经济数字不佳、与福士不惜?笔失望. Despite offering lively performance, the Lupo turns in a combined figure in excess of 40mpg, and will return nearly 30mpg in stop and start urban traffic.尽管提供生动表现,lupo折合数字超出40mpg,并将在30mpg几乎停止,开始返回市区交通. This is surely the environment the Lupo GTI will inhabit, fulfilling a role as the second quickest thing across the city centre after a pizza moped.这是肯定的lupoGTI组将居住环境、作为第二完成了对全市销售最快的轻便摩托车后比萨饼. Its compact dimensions naturally make parking simplicity and the quick steering give almost unrivalled manoeuvrability.其尺寸紧凑,自然令停车给予简单而快速转向操纵几乎无可比拟. What marks the Lupo out as something special is the sheer attention to detail everywhere you look.lupo看成是出于什么特别注重细节,到处是一派你看看. The panels are separated by shutlines so tight they look like scribed details, and everything is screwed together with just the same kind of quality you?d find in a £25,000 Volkswagen Passat.小组远隔shutlines文字细节像他们这样紧,万物螺纹连同你一样样的素质?丁找到了大众帕萨特2.5万英镑. The expensively textured dash plastics, the soft-return grab handles, the standard seat and wheel height adjustment are all indicative of more prestigious fare.昂贵的口感冲刺塑胶软返回抓斗柄,标准座位和车轮高度调整均显示更多票价. In fact were it not for the proximity of your front seat passenger, you could be forgiven for thinking you were driving a car in the Golf class.事实上,如果不是靠近你前座乘客、你可以原谅你想开车的高尔夫球课.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Used Lupo GTi prices open at around £6,600 for a five-speed car on an X plate.但GTI采用lupo价格为6600英镑左右开五速车木乃伊板块. Opt instead for a six-speed 2002 model on an 02 plate and you?ll need to dig down the back of the sofa for £8,300.而选择为期6速模式的2002年和1902年板吧?当地需要挖下来沙发背面为8300英镑. 2004 model year 53 plate cars are now just dipping below £10,000.2004年汽车模型板块现仅1953年一年以下浸渍10000英镑. Insurance is a hardly fearsome Group 11.保险是难以惊心动魄组11.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
The Lupo, along with its SEAT Arosa sibling, is one of the best-built small cars anywhere.lupo的,随着其所在地arosa兄弟,是最好的地方修建小型轿车. Interior fittings, so often manufactured down to a price in most citycars, are childproof and well made.室内装修,常常制造价格降至最citycars,以及儿童安全.

Aside from that, if you can find a nearly new car with warranty outstanding and a decent service history, you?ll have one of the best, if not the cheapest, small cars about.除此之外,如果你可以找到一个几乎与新车保修优秀历史和优良的服务,你?当地拥有世界上最优秀的,如果不是最便宜,约小汽车.

REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(approx based on a 2002 GTi) Parts that are GTi specific tend to be fairly pricey, but those which are generic to the Lupo are reasonably priced.(大约2002基于GTI组)部分组成,但GTI往往是相当昂贵具体、但对那些通用lupo价钱合理. An exchange clutch assembly retails for £170, and front brake pads are around £65 a pair, whilst rears are around £45.交流大会离合器零售为170英镑,而65年前刹车皮是英镑左右一双,虽然有抚养英镑左右45.

ON THE ROAD 在路上
Powered by a punchy 1.6-litre 125bhp engine and equipped with a six-speed gearbox, the Lupo is more powerful than the original Golf GTI and with a rest to sixty time of eight seconds will comfortably outsprint it too.装有一贴1.6公升125bhp发动机配备了6速变速箱、lupo的比原来更强有力和高尔夫GTI组与休息时间为60秒,将八名outsprint太舒服. The real measure of progress comes in offering greater economy, driver involvement, quality and reliability than the old car could ever muster.真正的进步是提供更大程度的经济、司机参与质量和可靠性比以往的旧汽车可以催发. That engine will be familiar to anybody who?s sampled the Polo GTI, and offers a zippy throttle response and a wide flat spread of torque.该发动机将熟悉的人?收盘获选的马球GTI组、并提供了广泛的响应和单位zippy油门蔓延扭矩. This means that the lightweight Lupo, which tips the scales at just 978kg due to the extensive use of lightweight aluminium, is comfortably quicker than any existing Polo, or indeed Golf, GTI models including the punchy 1.8 turbo variants.这意味着轻量级lupo,其中天平在刚刚978kg由于大量使用轻质铝快捷舒适是比任何现有马球,甚至高尔夫球,但GTI型号包括贴一月八日涡轮变种.
The sixteen-valve engine eventually runs out of puff at 127mph, a figure that outstrips the original Golf GTI by 16mph ?16气门发动机,最终失控自夸在127mph,这一数字超过了原来的高尔夫GTI组16mph? a testament to the Lupo?s superior aerodynamics and power.一份遗书给lupo?收盘优于气动和力量. The exterior of the car is distinguished by flared wheel arches, chunky side skirts a deep front spoiler with purposeful air intakes and fifteen-inch six-spoke alloy wheels.外部车车轮拱门特色就是爆发,方块状深裙子与前面破坏者针对性和空气摄入15英寸六个轮子以合金. At the rear, twin centrally mounted chrome exhausts, a roof spoiler and GTI badge let other drivers know what?s just blitzed them from the lights.在后方,中央采取双重铬废气但GTI一顶破坏者和徽章,让其他司机不知道吗?刚刚从灯火通明的突击. Available in black, red, and for the first time on a Lupo, silver, the GTI tries hard to look mean, but the overall effect is of a kitten in a combat jacket.备有黑色、红色,并首次在lupo、白银GTI学院力图寻找平均数,但总体效果是一个小猫的战斗夹克.

What they don?t tend to offer is the Lupo GTi?s chi-chi image.他们鲍思?笔往往给予的是lupoGTI组?收盘集集形象.

Although it?ll never be a big seller, Volkswagen?s smallest GTi still changes hands for a pretty penny.虽然?剑永远地摊、福士?但GTI手最小变动收盘依然漂亮一分钱. The laws of supply and demand aren?t as black and white as you?d at first suppose.西哈莫尼供求规律?笔为黑白你?丁起初猜想.
