After selling the Corrado we decided to do another VW Polo 6N. We loved the shape and missed our old VR6 Polo! We felt the Polo chassis could handle more power than our previous VR6 230bhp conversion so decided to opt for the tried and tested 1.8T engine.
The Lupo we modified a few years previous had a highly modified 1.8T producing over 350bhp but it was too extreme for everyday road use. We decided to stick with a standard S3 lump taken from the Audi A3 S3 Quattro running the bigger KO4 Turbo and had the engine re-mapped to a safe, reliable 280bhp. Superb handling and devastating performance, the perfect balance of light car…big power! |
