Model History
The Lupo was introduced in 1998 to fill a gap at the bottom of the VW model range caused by the increasing size and weight of the VW Polo. The 1998 VW Lupo was a badge-engineered version of the stablemate 1997 SEAT Arosa.The car was available with a variety of engine sizes and trim levels, from budget models through to the hot hatch GTI variant.
Production of the Lupo ceased in 2005, replaced by the Fox.
The Lupo name is Italian, meaning wolf, and is named after its home town of Wolfsburg.

“The striking point about our model family is not simply the compete-compete, consume-consume style of life it urges us to follow.... The striking point, in the face of all the propaganda, is how few Americans actually live this way.”
—Louise Kapp Howe (b. 1934)
“I think that Richard Nixon will go down in history as a true folk hero, who struck a vital blow to the whole diseased concept of the revered image and gave the American virtue of irreverence and skepticism back to the people.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
