Volkswagen UK comes with new treats for its customers with the introduction of new special editions to its 2016 lineup.
The first model to get the ultimate upgrades from the German carmaker is the Look up!.

Based on the already popular Move-up!, the model is powered by a 1.0-liter engine developing 60 PS and comes with 15-inch Fortaleza alloy wheels, unique interior trim, black wing mirror casings and black foil decals. Available in a range of colors, such as Saturn Yellow, Tornado Red or Pure White, the new sp is priced at 9,995 pounds.

The Volkswagen CC Black Edition is the second model to get fresh new clothes. Dubbed the CC GT Black Edition and CC R-Line Black Edition, both feature generous extra options and styling enhancements.

The new Black Edition comes with black front grille, electric tilting sunroof, and 18-inch Lakeville alloy wheels on the GT and 18-inch Talladega alloy wheels on the R-Line.

At the interior, the cars feature Carbon Nappa leather upholstery with carbon fiber-style decorative inserts on front and side doors, plus black piano inserts in the center console. Both new special edition models are making their UK debut this month, and the starting price is 29,150 pounds.

The Scirroco also gets revamped, by getting a new special edition called GTS. It comes with 220 PS as standard and is available in both manual and DSG transmissions.

With a gasoline 2.0-liter TFSI engine under its hood, the GTS develops 220 PS and has a maximum torque of 350 Nm (258 lb-ft) at just 1,500 rpm, with top speeds of 153 mph (246 km/h) for the manual version and 152 mph (244 km/h) for DSG. For both transmissions, the car sprints from 0 to 62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 6.5 seconds.

The GTS shares the Scirocco R-Line's exterior styling kit, but with GTS-specific badging on the front grille and rear tailgate, black gloss door mirror casings and 65 percent tinted rear windows.

Available in Urano Grey as standard and Flash Red, Pure White, Oryx White, Indium Grey and Deep Black offered as optional, each paint color has specific color-coordinated GTS decal stripes in the bonnet, roof and tailgate.

The interior features the R-Line trim with Vienna leather upholstery including the GTS logo on front sports seats, red stitch detail, piano black dashboard decorative inserts, GTS gearstick with golf ball effect gear knob, seatbelts with two red GTS stripes and chrome side door sill protectors, also with the GTS logo.

The new Scirroco version is priced at 28,192 pounds for the six-speed manual gearbox model and 29,695 pounds for the six-speed DSG.

"These attractive new special editions clearly enhance the already strong appeal of some of our most exciting and charismatic models, and I'm sure our customers will be as enthusiastic about their arrival as I am," Rod McLeod, Volkswagen UK Head of Marketing, stated.

All three special editions are available for order as we speak.
