早在2011年9月的法兰克福车展上，大众汽车就曾推出一款GT up!概念车，该车搭载一台73.5千瓦/100马力1.0升直列三缸涡轮增压引擎，整备质量约900公斤，虽然其前景光明，但大众并未将其投产。不过,现在情况发生了变化,大众决定于今年5月在巴西投产其量产版车型。该车的核心是一台取自Polo改款车的1.0升TSI三缸涡轮增压汽油引擎，而该引擎也在巴西圣保罗生产，其功率仍为100马力，与其搭配的五速手动变速箱将动力传递至前轮。

 

Volkswagen up! Turbo coming in May with 100 HP

Brazilian media is reporting Volkswagen will finally introduce a production version of the GT up! concept.

 

It was September 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show where Volkswagen introduced five up! concepts and one of them was a more potent GT version. It had 100 HP (73.5 kW) wrapped around in a body weighing only approximately 900 kg (1,984 lbs) and although promising, Volkswagen didn't released a production version in the years to come.

 

That's about to change as according to a report from Brazil the model will actually see the light of production day as the up! Turbo in May. Its heart and soul will be a Polo facelift-sourced three-cylinder, 1.0 TSI turbocharged gasoline engine locally produced in Sao Paulo. The motor which will be compatible with ethanol is set to produce 100 HP transferred to the front wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox.
