The Lupo 3L was a special-edition made with the intent of being the world's first car in series production consuming as little as 3 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres (78 miles per US gallon or 94 miles per Imperial gallon). To achieve this the 3L was significantly changed from the standard Lupo to include:
- 1.2 litre three-cylinder diesel engine with turbocharger and direct injection (61 hp, 140 Nm)
- Use of light-weight aluminum and magnesium alloys for doors, bonnet (hood), rear-hatch, seat frames, engine block, wheels, suspension system etc. to achieve a weight of only 830 kg (1,830 lb)
- Tiptronic gearbox
- Engine start/stop automatic to avoid long idling periods
- Low rolling resistance tires
- Automated gearbox and clutch, to optimise fuel consumption, with a Tiptronic mode for the gearbox
- Changed aerodynamics, so a Cw value of 0.29 was achieved
