If you watch a lot of hillclimb action on YouTube you might recognise this car as once having a supercharged Hayabusa engine. Now, it has a twin-turbocharged V6 displacing some 2.7 litres, that once called the first-generation Audi RS4 its home, producing an incredible 530PS (390kW), on what is described as a ‘conservative tune’.
To be fair, weighing just 1,020kg, it shouldn’t need too much more. Especially on a tight and technical hillclimb, which is exactly what the Buzet Formula Driver round is, with added chicanes for good measure. Seeing the tiny Lupo fling itself hither and thither very much convinces us that what is definitely a strange choice for a hillclimb car, is a good one. That miniature wheelbase and feather-like weight make it clearly a hoot to chuck about. What a machine!
