2011 Volkswagen New Beetle: A possible setup?

The new Volkswagen Beetle, which debuted in a preview for the general public at the Salon of Shanghai and New York (the second still in progress), has received many positive comments and rumors they want already entering the market a version of R already view models of the Volkswagen Golf and Scirocco.

The Volkswagen Beetle R could mount a 2.0 TSI turbo 4-cylinder 265 hp engine, the car and so should have performance similar to that of the Golf: acceleration 0-100 km / h in 5.5 seconds and covered with top speed electronically limited to 250 km / h. Nothing is official yet but if the R Beetle Volkswagen engineers had to be really sure to drop by the set, put the DSG dual-clutch, and probably will use the Motion 4 wheel drive.

Volkswagen Beetle: the first TV spot

Black rock like Black Betty, compelling, masculine. And finally, more like a car than a giocattolone overgrown. Faced with the new Volkswagen Beetle, and his new TV spot, which reflects that of the Super Bowl in February, the previous model looks like a far distant relative.

Volkswagen Beetle Video

After the official photos, here is the first video of the Volkswagen Beetle, ready to debut at the show in Shanghai but already shown simultaneously in live events in Berlin and New York. The car is only apparently similar to the old generation, which is more than 15 cm long, wider and just more low-volume and very different in the rear roof line.

The intent is to make the sport more Beetle and the confirmation is in the interior, leaving the special style of the old model for solutions more similar to other models of the German manufacturer. The range of engines will range from 1.2 TSI 105 bhp, 1.4 160 bhp and 200 bhp 2.0 petrol and 1.6 TDI 105 hp and 140 hp 2.0 TDI with manual gearbox or DSG dual clutch.
