Meet the Speedle, ABT’s take on the 2012 Volkswagen Beelte. It seems it’s emerged from a movie. And that’s because it has, sort of!

The body kit with front spoiler, rear skirt insert, rear skirt set with rear muffler and oval exhaust pipes, tail spiler and very nice side skirts is very well designed. But they’ve got a bit carried away with the ‘Herbie’ theme.

The extra garnish on the lights, and the paint job, are anything but cool. The car uses 19-inch wheels.

The Speedle is still a work in progress, but ABT prmoises they are going to do good things with the engines. The 1.2 TSI the series standard 105 HP (77 kW) will be increased to around 140 HP (103 kW), while with the 1.4 TSI (series standard: 160 HP/118 kW) will make around 210 HP (154 kW). The 1.6 litre diesel engine will provide 125 HP (92 kW) instead of 105 HP (77 kW), and the 2.0 TDI will have 170 HP or 125 kW (series standard: 140 HP/103 kW).

Final specs and pricing will be announced later.
