Volkswagen to resurrect Lupo name-plate
Volkswagen’s new city car, internally known as ‘Up’, will be sold as the Lupo. The Lupo city-car will also be available as an Audi, Seat and Skoda, by 2015 as part of Volkswagens go-getting target to take global market leadership by 2018.
With the Brazilian-built Fox to be withdrawn, the newcomer will be the entry-level car in Volkswagens line-up when it reaches the UK in 2012. It will be manufactured in Slovakia and is the first model in an extended range of modern small cars, which Volkswagen officials call the New Small Family (NSF).
Initially created with a space-saving rear-engined/rear-wheel drive design, the new car has been comprehensively reworked during its three-year development procedure. Financial concerns have required the platform to be switched to front-engined, front-wheel drive that VW says will allow it to use existing engine and gearbox combinations without any major penalty in overall packaging.
The new Lupo will elongate to no longer than 3,445mm in length, 1,628mm in width and 1,495mm in height; approximately 525mm shorter, 54mm narrower but 33mm taller than the Polo 3dr.
In the VW line-up, the Lupo will be placed above cheap offerings like the Nissan Pixo, Suzuki Alto & KIA Picanto but beneath Polo in order to draw both first-time car buyers and those looking for a second car. The latest hint suggests that the entry-level Lupo will have a sticker price of £8,200 (€9,700) in the UK, thus competing directly with the Fiat 500, Citroën C1, Ford KA, Peugeot 107, Renault Twingo, and the Toyota Aygo.
Keeping with the newcomers ‘back to basics’ theme, the Lupo is intended to be sold with a restricted range of engines during the early sales stage. The Lupo will be released throughout Europe in Summer 2011 (as a 2012 MY) using two engines; a 65bhp naturally aspirated 1.0 litre 3 cylinder petrol engine and a 1.2 TDi CR 75bhp 4 cylinder engine, with the latter potentially offering in excess of 80mpg and emitting less than 80g/km in Bluemotion variant.
The 5dr Lupo will launch in Spring 2012, with an all-new 85bhp turbocharged 1.0 litre TSI 4 cylinder petrol engine. In the pipeline is an electric variant, dubbed E-Up that’s being built with Audi and is expected to reach European dealerships by Winter 2012, with U.S sales predicted in early 2013. A shooting-brake model, similar to that of the Up Lite concept is likely to be sold.

Como economizar combustível
Como hoje em dia o combustível não é dos mais baratos. vale a pena tomar alguns cuidados ao volante para evitar gastos desnecessários na hora de reabastecer. Confira a seguir alguns conselhos para fazer o combustível do seu carro render mais:
- Na partida, não se deve aquecer o motor com o carro parado. É melhor começar a andar devagar, ir acelerando progressivamente sem exigir grande potência do motor nos primeiros metros.
- Evite andar com o motor em alta rotação. Consulte o manual do proprietário para verificar qual é o regime em que o torque (força) máximo é atingido.
- No trânsito, mantenha-se o máximo possível nas marchas mais altas sem no entanto forçar o motor e deixa-lo dar trancos. Ande em velocidade regular, sem grandes freiadas ou acelerações repentinas.
- Mantenha o motor bem regulado, com os bicos injetores desobstruídos e com os filtros de ar dentro do prazo de utilização recomendado pelo fabricante. As velas também precisam estar em bom estado e com a folga do eletrodo de acordo com as especificações estabelecidas por cada marca.
- Estacionando, nunca acelere antes de desligar a ignição.
- Andar com o ar-condicionado ligado mesmo em dias frios também acaba provocando desperdício de combustível. É recomendável usá-lo com moderação.
- Levar peso desnecessário no porta-malas, por esquecimento, exige mais esforço do motor e também aumenta o consumo. Vale a pena remover os objetos que não serão usados durante a viagem.
- Pneus descalibrados também são vilões quando o assunto é economizar combustível. Não se esqueça de calibrá-los semanalmente. Na maioria dos casos, as pressões corretas estão impressas numa etiqueta atrás da portinhola do bocal de reabastecimento, ou na parte interna da tampa do porta-luvas.
- Se for viajar, os vidros abertos e a bagagem na capota são pontos que pesam contra o seu bolso na hora de reabastecer, pois afetam o perfil de penetração aerodinâmica do carro. Procure manter as janelas fechadas e não exagere na altura da carga colocada no bagageiro.
- Nunca encha o tanque de combustível até a boca. Nos carros com carburador, parte desse combustível acaba se perdendo pelo bocal ou pela válvula de alívio. Lembre-se: o nível correto do tanque é quando o combustível atinge o bico da bomba. Isso pode ser percebido quando o gatilho da mangueira desarma automaticamente.
- Não rode com o tanque na reserva, o que permite muito espaço para evaporação do combustível. Além disso, essa atitude faz com que resíduos que ficam no fundo do tanque sejam sugados para dentro do motor, entupindo os bicos injetores.
- Dirija com calma, sem exagerar nas acelerações, sem excesso de freadas bruscas e retomando a velocidade sem pressa. O motorista afoito é o maior amigo dos donos de postos de combustível.
- No caso dos carros dotados de carburador, desligue o afogador assim que o motor atingir a temperatura ideal de funcionamento.
- Mecânica: é fundamental verificar pelo menos uma vez por ano os elementos essenciais, afinação do motor, troca de filtros (um filtro sujo diminui o rendimento do motor), etc.
- Quando chegar a velocidade desejada, alivie um pouco o acelerador.
- Organize seu itinerário. Crie uma rota que atenda todos os seus compromissos. Concilie sua agenda da melhor forma, evite idas e vindas desnecessárias.
