Car Information and Specifications

Six years ago Volkswagen showed a design study called the Concept 1 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, and the response was overwhelming. The final rendition of that design study was introduced at the 1998 Detroit show as the New Beetle. While reminiscent of the original Beetle, of which more than 20 million have been sold, there are no shared parts between the original and the new model. Featuring a front-engine, front-wheel-drive design, the New Beetle has all the modern amenities that its predecessor lacked. The New Beetle went on sale in the spring of 1998, and sales have been impressive.

Although immediately recognizable as a Beetle, the New Beetle shares only that distinct shape with its predecessor. The New Beetle is considerably larger, and there are no shared parts between the current model and the original version.
