Being the spiritual successor to the original 1970s Golf, Volkswagen’s new baby up! range was bound to feature a hotter version, and this GT up! concept appears to be ticking all the right boxes.
Visually, the GT up! receives beefier, more aggressive styling, most notably that massive ‘honeycomb’ central grille with accompanying air intakes either side, and LED daytime running lights. Down the flanks there are high-gloss black mirrors and sill extensions, while around the rear there’s deep roof spoiler, and bumper diffuser which frames those twin exhaust tailpipes. The look is completed thanks to a set of purposeful 17-inch alloy wheels and lower ride height.
Moving inside, the GT up! features a black rooflining, chunky leather-trimmed steering wheel and GTI-inspired anthracite-coloured sports seats with a contrasting blue chequered pattern covering the centre sections. The upper door trim panels and dashboard are finished in high-gloss black.
Volkswagen promises that it will develop at least 74 kW/100 hp, if and when it swings into production…
