2013 Beetle Convertible Press Release - LA Auto Show
Los Angeles, Calif. - The latest Beetle has been an instant success for Volkswagen since it went on sale in September 2011 as a 2012 model. And that success will continue with the introduction of the Beetle Convertible, the sportiest and most dynamic version of the iconic softtop seen so far.
Ever since the type 15 Convertible from 1949, the Beetle has been one of the most popular open-top cars built. More than 330,000 examples of the first Beetle Convertible were manufactured over a 32-year span, while another 234,619 New Beetle Convertibles were produced in an eight-year period.
The New Beetle Convertible was not a straight copy of the original, but a reinterpretation and development of it. And that's the case with the third-generation Beetle Convertible. Klaus Bischoff, Head Designer, Volkswagen Brand says: "Retro is not our thing: we are always looking forward. Volkswagen has reinterpreted the Beetle Convertible's timeless design with a sportier and more dynamic silhouette, just as it did with the Beetle Coupe. The car is substantially wider, has a longer hood, and has a more upright windshield that sits further back than before. The standard rear spoiler reinforces the car's sporty look."

Stuck fährt das neue Beetle Cabrio
Zum Fahrbericht: http://motorzeitung.de/news.php?newsid=148457
Rennfahrerlegende trifft Auto-Ikone: Die Gelegenheit, das neue Beetle Cabrio über die Straßen Malibus zu bewegen, ließ sich Hans-Joachim Stuck nicht entgehen. Und der Profi ist begeistert: „Eine Legende wurde neu erfunden", bringt er es kurz und knapp auf den Punkt. Zweifellos ist das sonnige Kalifornien das perfekte Jagdrevier für ein solches Fahrzeug. Aber auch wenn die Sonne einmal nicht scheint, wird aus dem offenen Beetle in 9,5 Sekunden ein vollwertiges Coupé. „Da zischt nichts, da bläst nichts", ist Stuck begeistert, ebenso wie von der Motorisierung, vor allem von dem besonders sauberen Clean-Diesel und dem Zweiliter-turbo in Kombination mit dem DSG. Hier geht die Post richtig ab.
2012 Volkswagen E-Bugster Speedster Concept
Volkswagen has unleashed the first images and details of the new E-Bugster concept car that is due to be showcased at Auto China in Beijing next week. It is an updated roofless version of the model that was shown earlier this year in Detroit
The name is derived from the American nickname for the Beetle, 'Bug' and the 'speedster' body style and is considered to be a pre-production preview of the new Beetle Convertible.
Power is generated from an electric motor that produces 116PS (85kW / 114hp) enabling the speedster to accelerate from 0-100kph (0-62mph) in 10.8 seconds.
The lithium-ion battery has a capacity of 28.3 kWh and can be recharged by standard or ultra-fast DC charging methods. It also makes use of a kinetic energy recovery system (KERS) similar to the F1 system to recharge as well.
The E-Bugster is 90mm lower and 30mm longer than the production Beetle coupe giving it a more sporty outlook. The design maintains the Beetle DNA and comes with LED headlights. Additionally, the C-shape you see either side of the central air intake features a line of LED daytime running lights as well.
Following the E-Bugster concept's unveiling next week, we expect to see the Beetle Convertible shown in production form later this year in either Paris or Los Angeles before sales begin early in 2013.
