2012 ABT UP!
It is 3.54 meters short, but provides much space, is extremely fuel-efficient and very, very likeable: the VW up! No
compromises here, and it is perfectly geared to what people in our
modern age want. “Which does also mean that this baby is supposed to be
fun as well“, says Hans-Jürgen Abt. ABT Sportsline’s
managing director is simply in love with this car. “It is huge fun to
drive it through the narrow streets here in downtown Kempten!“ The up! also reminds Abt
of the swift little Abarths his father used to drive. And since his
father was so successful in motorsports, the designers gave this
practical new compact car a very sporty and aggressive outfit. It goes
without saying that the up! is a real ABT, which means
that it is assertive without losing its ecological and economic
qualities. All components are of the highest quality and very stylish,
of course, but also very affordable.
The little one is speedy, precise and will fight for parking space
without remorse, but who would mind? His smile comes naturally, the
bright red headlight masks make it appear stronger and smarter. Seen
from the front, the ABT up! says: “Here I am, that’s me. Size
doesn’t matter!“ The carbon-look deco set with its red stripes across
the entire surface is a mix of retro and modern age. ABT draws
upon the extravagant designs of the Swinging Sixties with which the
power versions of plain mass-consumption cars – from “Herbie” the Beetle
to Gordini and Cooper – showed that being sensible can also be cool.
Window frames and side skirts are the “common thread” leading straight to the strong back of the ABT up!, where rear masks, an exhaust pipe tunnel and the sporty double exhaust pipe form a unit. The ABT up! will
be much admired when thanks to new suspension springs it takes bends in
a much more sporty fashion now. It is the love for details that forms
its bond with its “elder” brothers. Mirror caps or red hub covers
bearing the ABT-Logo make the up! stand out. No wonder, since this car wants to get “up” there.
