Volkswagen Lupo
The Volkswagen Lupo (Typ 6X) is a city car that was produced by the German car manufacturer Volkswagen from 1998 to 2005. It shares most of its aspects with the Volkswagen Group's SEAT Arosa, both derived from the Volkswagen Polo Mk3 platform, mainly differing in styling and equipment. It is a three-door hatchback with a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. The Lupo name is Latin, meaning wolf, and is named after its home town of Wolfsburg.
