Would you post 0-62 time? It should be under 7s if there is enough grip.

Targets of lupo 2L project:
- primary goal to prove it can reach 2l/100km @ 100 km/h speed
- secondary goal to prove you dont need 200-400 hp to have fast car. You need light and low drag vehicle
- Prove you can have fast and efficient car in same package.

Top speed estimation is based on drag equation calculations. CdA value 0,375 is roughly 35% lower than stock lupo 3L, even more compared to GTI model. So GTI can do 202 km/h with 125 hp I can do roughly 35% higher top speed with "same" power as I have lower friction factors on bearings and such.

Note that top speed is also something that will be tested at Germany after that fuel consumption targets reached. You might not like to drive fast but most people do.
