Dead slow, but very economical (4.5l/100km, 52mpg).
It's probably the world's most ugly car. Of course that's highly subjective.
On paper the 800ccm engine produces 41 HP at the flywheel, and this example appears to be close to that. Actually it's not a bad start for such a car, and the gearshifts are quite rapid too.
We also logged 1/4 mile at 20.26 @ 106 km/h, but since it's over 19second, we cannot draw it on the chart.

3 liter, turbocharged, as promised! :)
Hehe. This is VW's record MPG returning car.
The name "3L" comes from fuel consumption over 100 km. This equals to 94 MPG. (78 US MPG)
And it's not just a claim, the owner told me during his Budapest-Rome-Budapest trip he was matching the quote from VW. Check the datasheet here.
Of course at wide open throttle (eh, sorry, I know it's a Diesel, but you get the idea) consumption goes up a bit. During a short dynamic test drive and the acceleration tests it has gone up to 5 liter / 100 km. (56 UK, 47 US MPG)
That's still a very good figure. So it doesn't drink a lot of diesel, but it doesn't have much go either. :)

And to top it all, it has a special gearbox as well.
It's an automatic, but not the "accelerate even during gearchanges" type, but one which fits much more to the "I'm slow as a snail, but I return good MPG" slogan of the car. :)

ps: Do you know the true story why VW come up with this car? Well, industrial spies told the VW board that Renault was busy working on a 3 liter small car. Of course they had to match them, so they built this Lupo. Renault meanwhile released the Clio V6, a small car with a 3liter displacement engine returning maybe 25 mpg on a good day. :)

It's a 27 years old technik and a real 4wd truck. But all of this 4 wheels are on the rear stub axle. The car has very old tyres, and there are no weight on the back, but it makes very nice start yet. There are very short gears, and nice power, what is thanks to a bigger turbocharger.

It's a very loud 1.0l, 3 cylinder Suzuki Swift. It has bigger exhaust, sport filter, and they made something with the ignition. It has more power, than the stock. The tyres was 165/65 R13". The run was clear, i think he can run a bit better, if he start on higher rpm.

The 60 HP of the 8valve engine and the quite significant weight does not promise sparkling performance, so it's not a surpire to see that it could not reach the quarter mile in our 19sec time limit. In fact it's 1/4 ET was 20.79 @ 106 km/h (with 0 rollout!)

This is the new secret weapon of StefanZorst Racing! :-) Now a 1.6 diesel engine works in the car without turbo. It drink 4l/100 km!

In the spring the car will use a new 1.6TDI engine, and we will log a new run. I think it will make same result like the Fiesta of Szabyk! :-)))
