Some quick shots from today:
Love the rims! ;-)
Have a great day, Ron

Ok, if you REALLY want to know that:
Kerb weight 995 kg, 115 horsepower, torque 200 Nm, 3 (yes: three!) cylinders, 999 ccm, turbo charged, 0 - 100 km/h (0-60 kph) in 8.8 seconds, Vmax 196 km/h (122 kph)
Congartulation! 3 Cylinders (and even less ccm) works very well! My Smart Roadster! has around the same specs :) I love small cars...
I think the rims could be even a bit bigger - but nice neverheless...
I’ve driven the Smart Roadster on a couple of occasions.
Very cool and nice handling little car(t). Was that a 800cc 3 cilinder turbo ? Or was it 600 cc ? Can’t remember.
Ahh holy cow !
110 hp in a Smart Roadster ... nice. I remember my friend sold his roadster to a young lady, she was so happy with it, she saved long time for that car. A couple of months later her jealous ex-boyfriend lighted it and it burned off completely 🤬.
No problems for the brakes ...
... wouldn’t be the first time i see flames coming from under my wheel arches 🥶🥵. You be sure to know where the fire extinguisher is located, I didn’t find it at the time ( it wasn’t my car😂) but luckily a friend took his to prevent the VR6 burned to the ...
I must admit i was amazed.
Actually i thought i was still being gentle on the brakes .... 😆. Imagine my face seeing flames on both sides coming up half a metre above the hood 😬. Afterwards my friend told me i should have let it burn in order to have the insurance pay it back 🤣😂. ...
The real modern GTI
Relative lightweight, not too heavy. Hp to weight ratio of the Golf GTI series I was 7,6 hp/kg. Yours is coming close. Have fun and allzeit gute Fahrt! Regards, George
Not sure ...
... even though the tyres are ‘only’ 195 mm wide ( which is considered very small these days 🥺) i doubt VW allows you to fully deconnect the traction control. If you want to do a mega burnout all you need is a 85 hp , 810 kilo French box with 165 mm (scre...
Just had some major reviosion done.
Brakes, brake lines, swingarms, exhaust, rear axle, joints etc are changed / refurbished. I must admit it feels more solid now. Also fitted new tyres last year.
I would love to do a road trip with the 205.
Me, you, Louie and Tagada. A whole week driving thru the French countryside, would be very romantic 😉😜😂.
LOL
Actually we sold the Panda 😰, i loved that little car. Instead my daughter bought an Enzo.
I guess anything with four wheels can be badged as GTI these days
Direct fuel injection. You sure it’s not an electric car though ? 😂 reminds me of the Smart.
Performance wise any new car can be called GTi
Since it took the first gti’s nearly ten seconds to reach 100 kph. The trick is to make a relatively slow car a lot more fun to drive than a fast car.
WHAT A COINCIDENCE !
Yesterday i searched Youtube on this little Gti ! It sure looks very cool and the reviews are very positive. A far from slow little car with very good looks and a very nice and high quality interior .... hmmmm .... what do you need more ?
