Volkswagen: "up! holland up! - commercial" TV Commercial by Achtung!

Cheerful orange supporters
The Dutch sports-fans are well known for being cheerful & loud, and wearing excessive orange outfits. In order to select the most cheerful Dutch supporters to encourage the Dutch Olympic team at the London 2012 Olympics, Volkswagen of The Netherlands introduces a special sound-driven edition of their compact model, the up!. In daily local competitions throughout the Netherlands, Dutch fans cheer their way to Olympic tickets by setting the fastest time on a 100-meter track.

Orange-motion technology
The special edition of the Volkswagen up! is equipped with technology that incorporates a decibel recorder paired to an electronic accelerator pedal. That way, the sound from cheering is converted into motion, no gas pedal is needed. The louder the cheering, the faster the car moves. Obviously, the car has several extra safety-features. It has a speed limiter at 30 km/h and is equipped with a second pedal-set for the co-driver, which is always an official Volkswagen crewmember.
