2012 Volkswagen Beetle
The Beetle opens a new chapter in its remarkable story with the third generation of the internationally beloved Beetle celebrating a transcontinental world debut simultaneously in Shanghai, Berlin and New York. The task for Volkswagen engineers was clear. They had to develop a modern interpretation of the Beetle, with all the benefits of today’s technologies and efficiencies, and the driving characteristics that define the Volkswagen brand. The result had to remain affordable and stay true to the Beetle’s spirit and great heritage. The design of the new Beetle presented another challenge. The 2012 Beetle is an automotive icon reinvented. Placing the original Beetle and the 21st Century Beetle next to one another, it’s clear that the lines of the rear sections are nearly identical, but the overall look is bolder and more dynamic.
