Adopts Germany's Flagship "Exclusive" Grade
The sports version of The Beetle, the "Turbo" and the open-top model, the "Cabriolet" now feature special editions with two-tone leather seats, available in either black or white body colors.
Both models adopt Volkswagen's flagship "Exclusive" grade, offered in Germany. They come standard with numerous upgraded items, resulting in a refined vehicle.
The interior is coordinated with premium Nappa leather seats in a two-tone urban brown and black scheme. Furthermore, the "Fender Sound System," jointly developed by Volkswagen and Fender, is adopted, with a high-spec sound experience delivered by a 400W high-output amplifier and 10-channel, 9-speaker system to enhance the driving experience.
The Turbo model is equipped with features such as the Park Distance Control parking assistance system and sporty paddle shifters. The Cabriolet, paired with a beige soft top, includes amenities like seat heaters and an auto light system.
Sales for both the Turbo and Cabriolet models are limited to 50 units each, with 25 in white and 25 in black. The price is ¥3.97 million for the Turbo and ¥4.20 million for the Cabriolet. The dedicated website will be available until January 30th (Friday) of next year. If the number of orders exceeds the planned sales volume for each model, a waiting list will be opened.
