Volkswagen also had the good idea of mounting a 1596cc 16-valve 125 horsepower engine on the Lupo. The result, a chic and well-equipped small sports car, which was produced from November 2000. The equipment was very good: ABS, ESP, xenon headlights… From 2002 the gearbox was six-speed. The car is quite rare and sought after by collectors now. Production continued until 2005.
