Volkswagen unveiled the coupe version of the new generation Beetle
in April 2011 at the New York Auto Show and at that time, everyone
believed that a cabrio version would only be a few months away. However,
Volkswagen has decided to make us wait a little bit longer with the new
Beetle Cabrio
not making its world debut until late 2012. That’s just a little too
long to wait so we got to work and came up with this rendering of the
future drop top Beetle.
The upcoming Volkswagen
Beetle Cabrio will feature a design language similar to that of the
coupe version, except, of course, for its soft-top folding roof. This
means that the convertible Beetle will be bolder, more dynamic, and more
masculine, making it a tad more appealing to the male population.
Looking at the new Beetle, there’s a new design line from the front
bumper and front air inlet, straight lines of the bonnet edges, a
precisely drawn line between the A-pillar and C-pillar, and new styling
of the rear lights, all assisting in the new generation’s transformation
into a new world.
The engine line-up will also be
borrowed from the coupe version and will include one diesel and two
petrol engine with power ranging from 138 HP to 197 HP. Every engine
will be paired with either a standard 6-speed manual or an optional
6-speed DSG transmission.

Would you know if the 2013 beetle cabrio rear seats will split and or go down to allow more trunk room like the regular beetle or will they be like the present new beetle convertible with rigid stationary seats.
Sorry, but, with a nose kit it would pass for a 2 door PT Cruiser convertible.
