This is my first offering. If it's any good I'll post up more in the future. Don't think this is a noob-tune because of the lack of Fully Customisable bits!

I was inspired by the Peugeot 205 Rallye, a machine as famous for its feather-white purity as its demanding character. That has been recreated in my debut, this time wrapped up in cute yet efficient Teutonic packaging.
The stock gearbox has been retained, and the 16v 1390cc engine has been completely rebuilt by hand, in addition to a moderate suspension upgrade. One for the more advanced driver, as comfort tyres, especially together with the high revs needed to unleash all of the engine's horsepower gives the Lupo Rallye a very spartan character and makes it a difficult but rewarding car to drive hard. So don't assume the lightish tuning and low power mean crappy car, as, driven well, the Rallye makes mincemeat of bigger, faster hot hatches. There is a lot of talent in the smiley, innocent supermini. Just a shame it cannot be finished off with those distinctive white steelies really.
Can be upgraded further with the racing filter, chip, intake and exhaust manifolds along with a sports cat to bump it to the hardcore 160bhp Rallye Plus, which amongst others can beat the race-prepped Lupos at the Nordschleife.
Preferably for the more advanced driver who can get the best out of it, but I also recommend this to beginners to perfect their technique.
