When Volkswagen unveiled the production Up! hatchback at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, it showcased a series of concept versions alongside it. At the Geneva Motor Show the following year, it returned with another quartet of whimsical Up! concepts. There were more before and there will be more after. But few of them ever reached production. We have the three- and five-door models, the electric e-Up! and soft-roading Cross Up!, as well as Skoda and Seat versions, but aside from the cool convertible concepts, the one we really wanted was the GT Up!, and that never made the cut. But Wolfsburg seems to be out to at least partially right that wrong with the release of the new Street Up!
This sportier take on the German city car features a sport suspension, 16-inch alloys, racing stripes running up the hood and roof and along the doors and side panels and an interior decked out with contrast stitching, black headliner, unique shift knob and steering wheel. It even comes bundled with premium stereo and climate control. Unfortunately the same engine choices apply, so the most punch available is 75 horsepower. But appearance aside, the sport suspension ought to improve the vehicle's nimble handling around city streets. A mini GTI it may not be, but a sportier hatchback is never a bad thing.

street up! – neues Sondermodell des kleinsten Volkswagen
Mit einem neuen Sondermodell erweitert Volkswagen ab sofort das Angebot des superkompakten Viersitzers: Der street up! zeichnet sich vor allem durch sein charakteristisches Exterieur und Interieur aus.
Das neue Sondermodell street up!* bietet im Exterieur eine sportliche Folienbeklebung von Motorhaube, Dach, Türen und Seitenteilen. Als Erkennungsmerkmal dient der „street" Schriftzug auf den Türen. Farblich heben sich die Außenspiegel von der Fahrzeuglackierung ab. Serienmäßig ist das Sondermodell mit in Chrom gefassten Nebelscheinwerfern und 16-Zoll-Leichtmetallfelgen „upsilon" ausgestattet. Das Sportfahrwerk sorgt zudem für ein sportliches Fahrverhalten.
Im Innenraum unterstreichen farbige Nähte an Sitzen, Fußmatten sowie Schalt- und Handbremsmanschette das spritzige Auftreten des Stadtflitzers. Hinzu kommt das Designpaket „Black Style" mit schwarzem Dachhimmel und abgedunkelten Seitenscheiben. Eine Linse im „street" Design für den Schaltknauf, eine eigenständige Lenkradspange und die Einstiegsleisten mit up! Schriftzug frischen das Interieur weiter auf. Ebenfalls serienmäßig an Bord sind das Radio RCD 215 und eine Klimaanlage.
Als Motoren stehen dem street up! die bekannten Aggregate von 44 kW / 60 PS bis 55 kW / 75 PS – auch mit BlueMotionTechnology – zur Verfügung. Dazu gehört auch die besonders sparsame Erdgas (CNG)-Variante mit 50 kW / 68 PS. Der Verbrauch von 2,9 kg/100km (79 g/km CO2) entspricht Treibstoffkosten von lediglich drei Euro auf 100 Kilometer.
Erhältlich ist das street up! Sondermodell ab 13.575,- Euro.
