Yes it is. 313 bhp, 650 Nm. 5,7s for 0->100km/h and top 250 km/h with a consumption of only 7,5l/100 km in all comfort. Perfect for my daily routine and 60.000km/y.

a.w.k. 664 Posted December 3, 2018 Some additional pics of my OSI and a link to wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Officine_Stampaggi_Industriali A little less than 2200 units were made, most of them were going to the Netherlands and Germany. Stock engines were the Ford 2.0L V6 and Ford 2.3L V6, mine has the 2.6L V6, I think out of the Capri RS. The car goes easily 200km/h, which is a bit of a thrill with rear leaf springs and without safety belts. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GLI is Grand luxury Injection, really a odd name...lol It's basically a GTI with a trunk In the states we have GIT/GLI and TDI if i remember correctly The Jetta GLI, a sedan version of the Golf GTI based on the new Jetta, was revealed at the 2011 Chicago Auto Show with the 2.0 TSI 200 hp engine and a fully independent suspension, as well as the European Jetta's soft touch materials. A black honeycomb grill, aggressive lower intakes, side adorning foglights, smoked taillights, dual tailpipes, red painted calipers, and red stitching are all elements to separate it from its run-of-the-mill counterpart.[127] The GLI, as well as the Jetta TDI, are the only two trims to receive Volkswagen's 6-speed manual transmission as well as the optional 6-speed DSG gearbox.[128] GLI models feature a sport suspension that rides 0.6 inches lower than other Jetta models and the XDS® Cross Differential System. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can imagine what difference the motor makes, really a nice car in so good condition. the skyline behing also yours? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shodog 1834 Posted April 21, 2019 I’ve never been a huge convertible car guy as I rarely even open the sunroofs on my cars. However last year I spent three weeks with a rental Mustang convertible and loved it. I’ve been looking for about 6 months and I recently came across this 2002 Porsche Carerra 4 cabriolet. It’s in really nice condition for a 17 year old car. I’ve been spending a lot of time restoring it from years of neglect. Sanded the oxidation off the the front headlights Then polished them back clear with successively finer sand papers and polishing creme. Ran a clay bar over all the paint to pull out the impurities and waxed it up. Scrubbed out all the pebble grain surfaces of the interior panels with detergent and a soft tooth brush. I used Lexol products to clean and condition the leather. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
