Exclusive GTI features. The up! GTI is launching with a significantly enhanced set of standard features. In addition to the GTI insignia and the details already outlined, these additional features include the Composition radio system, six loudspeakers, a USB interface (Germany), air conditioning, heated seats, electrically adjustable and heated wing mirrors, front fog lights with static cornering lights and, as described, the sports running gear. The up! GTI is available as standard in "pure white" with two doors (four doors available as an option). Other features available as options include a tilting and sliding panoramic sunroof, "drive pack plus" (which includes City Emergency Braking function, automatic headlight control with Leaving Home and Coming Home function, cruise control system and rain sensor), Rear View (reversing camera), "maps + more dock" (docking interface to the smartphone integration for functions such as navigation and media library) and a 300-watt 8-channel "beats" sound system. Regardless of how a new up! GTI is configured, in the ideal scenario it will perhaps be parked in the garage next to a Golf GTI Mk1 – with the new car for ‘every day', and the heritage model for journeys through time in the summer.
