Last week I got my new supersports car!
...ok, it's a VW up! GTI. What? Who's laughing?
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)
Not bad. Not too heavy, some torque. It must be very funny to drive! [nt]

I should test one. The GTI spirit seems to be back with that one. [nt]

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.
Can’t remember.
It‘s actually 700ccm 😉. Mine is a bit special, as it has around 110 PS instead of the standard 82… 😮✌🏻😅 [nt]

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 🤬.

sad! 😳🙁 There are still a number of them out there, and the engine is durable if you take a little care... 👍🏻☺️ [nt]

ROFL! I feel relieved. That would be too much for the chassis, brakes, gear box, suspensions... [nt]

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 ground 🙄.

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!

George
I love it. I bet you can lay some serious rubber with those tires!!! [nt]

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 (scream)-tyres ... 😛 ... and when you finally picked up some speed just yank the steering wheel to the left ... or right and pull the handbrake, fun fun fun.
I half-coincidentally did exactly that and I couldn’t believe the clouds of smoke i saw in my rear view mirror 😂.
This 205 XS is such a pleasure to drive. Not much torque, but so living! [nt]
