For many a VW enthusiast, it is the true successor to the legendary VW Golf GTI MK1 - the VW UP GTI. 115 PS distributed over a curb weight of just 1070 kilos are first of all an announcement. In addition, a turbocharger for the thrust and a sound generator for the acoustic backdrop. The result? The tiny shoots to 8,8 km / h in just 100 seconds, which is 0,4 seconds below its ancestor. And the top speed of 197 km / h is significantly higher than the 182 km / h of the Golf 1 GTI. Visually, the Up shows itself with the typical GTI recognition features. There is the radiator grille with red horizontal stripes and the honeycomb pattern that is now typical of the GTI models. A small homage to the MK1 are the black double horizontal stripes over the sills which, according to VW, are exactly as big as the ornamentation on the original GTI.
VW Up with Ingo Noak body kit
Wheelbase and width of the UP GTi has almost completely taken over from the original ancestor and only the body is a few inches shorter. And for these guys now have the guys from Ingo Noak Tuning a discreet and very harmonious body kit developed. The body kit includes a filigree spoiler lip for the GTi bumper at the front and there are also changes to the angular rear of the Wolfsburg. Here, Ingo Noak Tuning has developed a sporty diffuser that fits perfectly into the factory rear apron and makes the rear view sportier and even more aggressive. Rounding out the aerodynamic parts with small canards on the rear apron right and left.
significantly deeper & chic aluminum
Of course, the presentation vehicle is still tuned. It comes with a multi-piece wheelset including dark gray rim star and black glossy painted rim beds and act as a highlight, the red screwing the rims. There was also a massive lowering and maybe even something under the hood has done. Because like us already the team of B&B has shown 145 hp in a small Up is no problem. If we receive more information soon, there will of course be an update for this report.
