After tremendous promotional fanfare especially in the Beetle fan-Country USA – VW has now presented the new Beetle’s successor in Shanghai. With its predecessor the Beetle will have nothing to do – which is also well understood from a German perspective. 2010, the New Beetle was ranked at the 156th Place in the annual hit list of the best selling cars.
But forget it, now it’ll be better. The emancipation is also going on at the same name. The new calls himself only plain: The Beetle. This sounds to Highlander – there can be only one. But this was now time the work order, the VW’s chief designer Walter de Silva, Klaus Bischoff pretending their troops: “Design a new original” Whether this order was implemented well, the customers decide. From September 2011, the Beetle be able to purchase in the U.S. and then in October and in Europe.

With a length of 4.28 meters and a width of 1.81 meters of the Beetle in 1998 presented his predecessor dominated significantly (plus 15 cm, plus 8.4 cm). Just lost in the roof height of the new one, now measures 1.49 meters exactly twelve millimeters less. And that’s a good thing, because especially the flatter roof distances makes the 2011er Beetle into a brand new car, which is clear from the round knobbly-New Beetle. With his more coupe-like line, the new Beetle to get rid of its punch as a soft girl car wash to raise and finally a male audience. VW sees the similar, but points out that you know when looking at the silhouette under certain light and perspective, the line of the original from 1938.
