I have some better Engine hp to EV hp ratio in mind that vw did in their XL1. They could do it so much better but someone has to show how its done properly .

There is only one problem that I dont have the money to build my lupo how I would want but even bigger challenges will come from the next project money wise. From engineering point of view its quite ready and specs will come later to new topic.

Again bar is set higher than any OEMs eco models have now. They seem to think 4 liters is good for small car and 6 liters if car is little bit bigger. So do people as they havent seen the light and dont know what they could buy.

They seem to think Lupos two liter stickers is some kind of sick joke and when I tell them its still faster than GTI golf they almost start to laugh :/.
