Direct fuel injection. You sure itโ€™s not an electric car though ? ๐Ÿ˜‚ reminds me of the Smart.

...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)

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...

Iโ€™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 ? Canโ€™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 ๐Ÿคฌ.

Actually you could upgrade the ECU ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

 
 By: bimbeano : August 24th, 2020-14:06
Might give you 140+ hp ๐Ÿ˜œ

140 Extra HP??? [nt]

 
 By: amanico : August 24th, 2020-14:08

Yes ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

 
 By: bimbeano : August 24th, 2020-14:09
That makes 250 hp for about 20 km ๐Ÿคช. Actually i meant 140 hp in total ๐Ÿคฃ.

No problems for the brakes ...

... wouldnโ€™t be the first time i see flames coming from under my wheel arches ๐Ÿฅถ๐Ÿฅต. You be sure to know where the fire extinguisher is located, I didnโ€™t find it at the time ( it wasnโ€™t my car๐Ÿ˜‚) but luckily a friend took his to prevent the VR6 burned to the ... 

I must admit i was amazed.

 
 By: bimbeano : August 24th, 2020-14:33
Actually i thought i was still being gentle on the brakes .... ๐Ÿ˜†. Imagine my face seeing flames on both sides coming up half a metre above the hood ๐Ÿ˜ฌ. Afterwards my friend told me i should have let it burn in order to have the insurance pay it back ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚. ... 

B le C? [nt]

Ha! For once, B is not guilty. [nt]

The real modern GTI

 
 By: George Gently : August 24th, 2020-00:38
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

Eine Rennsemmel ;-) [nt]

Works for me light weight and quick.

Just put some loud pipes and your good. Enjoy

Not sure ...

 
 By: bimbeano : August 24th, 2020-14:17
... even though the tyres are โ€˜onlyโ€™ 195 mm wide ( which is considered very small these days ๐Ÿฅบ) 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.

 
 By: bimbeano : August 24th, 2020-14:29
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 ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜‚.

Deal. Or Knokke? [nt]

 
 By: amanico : August 24th, 2020-14:39

Hmmm, if Knokke we should take the ....

Holy Shekel! [nt]

 
 By: amanico : August 24th, 2020-14:46

LOL

 
 By: bimbeano : August 24th, 2020-14:53
Actually we sold the Panda ๐Ÿ˜ฐ, i loved that little car. Instead my daughter bought an Enzo.

Yes like the Ferrari Enzo, but ...

 
 By: bimbeano : August 24th, 2020-15:04
... the Skoda Enzo. See the resemblance? ๐Ÿ˜ฌ ...

Performance wise any new car can be called GTi

 
 By: bimbeano : August 24th, 2020-14:19
Since it took the first gtiโ€™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 !

 
 By: bimbeano : August 24th, 2020-14:05
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 ?
