Since 2000, it has been a fixture on our streets: the New Volkswagen Beetle. Now in 2008, the Volkswagen cult-car has been further enhanced, in the form of the New Volkswagen Beetle Anniversary Edition. New alloy wheels, sports suspension, a fresh color as well as a special interior. Altogether, this results in an exciting limited edition that has made the appearance of the New Volkswagen Beetle even more engaging. With the Anniversary Edition we celebrate the anniversary of the international introduction of this modern interpretation of the original Volkswagen Beetles iconic design in an eye catching, limited edition, packed full of value.
Based upon the affordable New Volkswagen Beetle Miami, the New Volkswagen Beetle Anniversary Edition offers a visually enhanced package, from the exclusive body color and stripe treatment, to the 17 Versus alloy wheels and front fog lights. While the feature rich interior is dominated by the striking leatherette upholstery in a unique black and white theme and also includes front sports seats and cruise control. This exclusive version has a particular visual appearance with an exclusive Campanella white body color contrasted by a black roof and door mirror housings. The look is completed with the distinguishing exterior stripe package.
There are plenty of storage areas, such as the lockable glovebox, front door storage nets and a sunglass compartment in the headlining. Also in the centre console are the up-to-date cup holders. Additionally, there are two 12-volt outlets in the front and back.
The interior comes across as very friendly with its likeable, black and white leatherette with white stitching and 10 logos in the head restraints. Besides that, the New Volkswagen Beetle has a spacious feeling that seems unlimited in width and height in the front seats and offers ample space in the rear of this four-seater.
Very comforting: the central door locking system with programmable automatic locking of the doors after the car starts is like a bodyguard in the big-city jungle. Electric outside mirrors and active carbon filters for the interior air are further important details that come standard. Right in the driver’s door is a remote release for the 55-litre fuel tank cover as well as the cargo area. In its standard configuration, it holds 209 litres and expands to 527 litres when the seatback is collapsed.
The contouring of the body is distinctive. It transports the originality of the classic Volkswagen Beetle into contemporary times. The round stern, the dome-shaped roof, the rear section, the fenders with the hint of a footboard, the embedded round head - and tail lights - bring back memories of the Volkswagen Beetle while the sharp accented lines and windows confirm the up-to-date design and express youthful energy.
The self-supporting body made out of zinc-plated sheet steel, has a twelve-year guarantee against corrosion. The firm steel body of the New Volkswagen Beetle as well as the synthetic guards and bumpers are painted in a specially developed process, so that the coloring is identical. By the way, as in the past, guards and bumpers are screwed on, which enables low-cost repairs.
