The Volkswagen Golf W12 650 is not the only VW hatch to be powered by 12 cylinders. Inspired by the Volkswagen W12 concept car, Petar Biocic, the Croation VW fanatic transformed his Lupo compact car into a 5.2 liter 48 valve twin VR6 powered machine. Taking more than two years to complete the Lupo now has its own version of 4-motion, with a VW 24 valve V6 poking through the hood and another V6 sourced from a Seat Leon in the trunk this lightweight Lupo can move.

With the body lowered by 20 millimetres, flared wheel arches, side skirts and a voluminous bumper with spoiler and three dramatic air inlets, this power package in concentrated form clearly reveals its performance potential, for instance acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in 8.1 seconds. The powerful engine and systematic weight-saving body design make all the difference. Standard equipment on the Lupo GTI are a six-speed manual-shift gearbox and alloy wheels shod with tyres of equally sporting dimensions: 205/45 R 15.
