New Beetle GSR Bound for Chicago

Black/yellow stripes with "GSR" lettering above the side sills and black-painted 19-inch "Tornado" alloys complete the modern interpretation of the 70's classic. However, if the shocking colors are too much, then VW also offers the Beetle GSR in Platinum Grey and Black. The bumble bee coloration continues inside, with black leather and contrasting yellow stitching trim on the seats, handbrake lever and steering wheel that comes complete with a badge marked with a special-edition number (1 to 3500). Orders for the Beetle GSR can be made from May, priced at 30,300 Euros in Germany.

The other Beetle bound for Geneva is the Beetle Convertible with R-Line package, which from a functional perspective is identical to the Convertible Turbo, but comes with 19-inch alloys, LED DRL's, Bi-Xenon headlamps and R-Line badging inside and out. The limited edition GTIs include a Driver's Edition - limited to 3,000 units - that comes with 18-inch alloys, a golf ball shifter knob for the six-speed manual and the normal GTI's sunroof and navigation packages. Finally, VW will roll out the $25,095 Wolfsburg Edition GTI, which mimics the $29,695 Driver's Edition sans the sunroof and navigation.
