2013 VW Beetle Fender Edition Review

After the positive reaction it received at last year's Frankfurt International Auto Show, Volkswagen decided to build a production version of the Beetle Fender Edition Concept , which will make its world premiere at the Auto Mobil International show in Leipzig, Germany, on June 2.

The 2013 VW Beetle Fender Edition will go on sale in certain markets around the world including Europe and the U.S. from this fall, with pricing to be announced at a later date.

The special edition model is equipped with the 200hp 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine and stands out with unique interior and exterior styling cues, as well as a 400-Watts Fender audio system with a 10-channel amplifier.

On the outside, all Beetle Fender Edition vehicles are finished in Deep Black Metallic paint and feature brushed chrome exterior mirrors, 18-inch “Disc” alloy wheels, Bi-Xenon headlights, and Fender logos.

Much like Fender’s famous guitars, the special edition Beetle's dashboard fascia is trimmed in two-tone ‘Sunburst’ wood, complete with a chrome Fender logo. Other highlights include the bespoke seating upholstery while each car will also come with three limited-edition Fender guitar picks.
