My ride

Here's my car... a 2002 VW Parati Turbo. The motor is a 1.0 liter 16 V, but the original Garret Turbo with 1.3 bar pressure increases the power to 114 hp. It makes 0 - 60 mph in 9.7 secs... pretty good for a 1 liter car. Manual shift, 5 gears ahead.
I've made some mods inside and out... will add larger wheels soon.

Hey, that looks nice man ... we don't have those in the US.

You would think they would put a bigger engine in it, since it is rather big ... but I bet you get good mileage!

edit: also, what year is your car? and where is it assembled? Just curious:)

wow... a 1 litre engine in what appears to be a passat-sized car.. surprising to say the least... performance sounds ok though, especially for the size of the engine... nice carbonfibre detailing :D

a small engine doesnt necessarily mean better fuel consumption. if it has a lot of weight to shift around, you'll need to rev the pants off it and consequently consumption wont be great.. so what consumption do you get Troop?

I SO LOVE THOSE HEADLIGHTS :grinyes:

I get an average comsumption of about 10 or 11 km per liter on the city or 13 to 14 km on the road. This is with air conditioning turned OFF.

While this is not the same comsumption of a "simple" 1.0 liter motor, it is still pretty good considering the performance of the 16V Turbo motor and size of car.

Yikes!!!! 1.0 can't be good- even with the Turbo- I would have dropped in a 2.0 probably would work better with that size of car- the car looks a slight bit like a Golf Estate. Still the car looks quite impressive

That sure is a different car. I like it though. Something about the body that just draws you to it, but 1.0 liters? DANG!!!
