Der Auto Union 1000 Sp, ein Zweisitzer, erschien zur IAA 1957 und wurde bei Baur іn Stuttgart von 1958 bis 1965 gefertigt. Er erreichte nur eine geringe Stückzahl von 5 000 Coupés. Von September 1961 bis April 1965 fertigte man zudem 1 640 offene Roadster.

Gegenüber dem Auto Union 1000 S war die Motorleistung durch höhere Verdichtung (8 : 1) auf 41 kW (55 PS) gesteigert worden. Eine strömungsungünstige Form des „Schmalspur-Thunderbird“ (wie der 1000 Sp іn der Presse gelegentlich geringschätzig genannt wurde) war die Ursache für einen Verbrauch von über 10 l/100 km und eine Höchstgeschwindigkeit, die mit 140 km/h das schwächer motorisierte 1000-S-Coupé nur geringfügig übertraf.

Coupé und Roadster kosteten 10.950,00 DM.
