Still in a “design study” phase, Volkswagen offers up a look at the Beetle R on U.S. soil. Will it make it to production? Would it sell at a price tag similar to the Golf R’s $34K? One could easily reach these performance levels with APR software and a few add-ons. Do we like it? Yes, and the interior is superb. Continue reading ‘Beetle R Concept debuts at the LA Auto Show’
The completely newly developed Beetle from Volkswagen is the star of the Beetle Sunshine Tour, for which thousands of visitors are expected to come to the Baltic Sea shores at Travemunde on 13 August. On the show stages along the boardwalk, the 200 PS powerful Beetle of the 21st century is to be seen ten weeks before its market launch in October. It will be supported by live music by the Volkswagen Sound Foundation: Jenix, Feinkost and Wilhelm Tell Me will be playing in the Brugmanngarten.

Here we go… Again a lot to late. Rumor has it that the VW Beetle R will pump out 270hp from the same TFSI engine that will go in to the Golf R.
The Beetle R version has been mentioned from the debut but a price point of roughly $27,100 Euro for the 200hp TFSI model where will the R fit in? Continue reading ‘VW Beetle R coming with 270 HP’
Take a seat, start the engine, and be astonished. Beetle of a new era focuses fully on dynamics
Volkswagen is launching a new Beetle into the market. And this is anything but a commonplace event in the automotive world. That is because the original model of this car series – the Beetle – is one of the three most successful cars ever, with 21.5 million units sold. Now, the successor to these icons is making its way to the market. Continue reading ‘Everything you wanted to know about the VW Beetle’
Such a contrast to Jeremy Clarkson’s opinion. Ever popular automotive enthusiast, Jay Leno headed over to Wolfsburg for a drive. This wasn’t just any old drive, it was in the oldest Beetle living. A back on black 1938 split-window Beetle with 24hp. Shortly after, he hops in the newest Beetle and tours around. Good reviews from Mr. Leno!

If the Beetle is more masculine and male targeted in this go around then why is in a Britney Spears video. Yes, she is frisked while on the hood, flashes the Beetle and other sexual innuendoes but does it sell the Beetle to males? Either way, Volkswagen has done a perfect job with product placement. Pause it at 1:41… Enter Karman Ghia, which then has a male driver splatter himself with milk… WTF? Continue reading ‘Britney Spears flashes Beetle in I Wanna Go video’
As I’m sure you know by now, there are very few things on which all the TopGear presenters agree. James and I, for instance, like Sandwich Spread very much, but Hammond doesn’t, because he dislikes food “with bits in”.
Then you have the Fiat 500. Hammond and I think this is a terrific car, with lots of character and a genuine lust for life. May, meanwhile, thinks it is too backward-looking. Strange for a man who sees everything in black and white and was born aged 53. Continue reading ‘Jeremy Clarkson on the Volkswagen Beetle’
