Bolder, more dynamic, more masculine. A comparison to the 1998 New Beetle shows this: nothing remained as it was on the old car: "The Beetle is now characterized by a clean, self-confident and dominant sportiness. The car not only has a lower profile; it is also substantially wider, the front bonnet is longer, the front windscreen is shifted further back and has a much steeper incline. All of this creates a new dynamism," explains Klaus Bischoff. While the New Beetle was defined by three semi-circles (front wing, rear wing, domed roof above it), the new model has broken free of this geometry. The roof profile actually runs distinctly lower and can be considered a continuation of the Ragster concept car shown in Detroit in 2005 -- a type of hot rod based on the New Beetle. The new Beetle is bolder, more dynamic, more masculine.

  • It's the People's Porsche 911 Turbo!

  • @Jaiv74 Just "The Beetle", as far as I know. It's like the VW Golf. There have being plenty of versions during the years, with different designs, but the car still has the same name :)
