Volkswagen has made the decision to jump-start the trustworthy and do a 2nd version. Lovers with the cutesy compact can anticipate the completely new, redesigned New Beetle to become released subsequent spring and seem at sellers within the summer time of 2011 as being a 2012 model-the U.S. marketplace will probably be served initial. Beetle manufacturing will carry on to get location at VW's Puebla, Mexico, plant, alongside the 2011 Jetta.

Powertrains for this front-driver will arrive from VW's huge components bin, using the naturally aspirated, 115-hp, two.0-liter 4 most likely serving because the entry-level engine for that U.S. marketplace. Much more energy could arrive from your two.5-liter five-cylinder, but VW may also make the change towards the more compact but much more effective turbo- and supercharged one.4-liter TSI engine, which may make upwards of 170 hp, and also the turbocharged, 200- or 210-hp two.0-liter TSI from your GTI and GLI. This platform's prospects are nearly limitless: There might be an R model with some 270 hp, a return of a TDI design, all-wheel-drive versions, or perhaps a hybrid. Although the entry-level Beetle will most likely maintain its Aisin-designed automatic, the turbocharged designs will get VW's dual-clutch automated guide transmissions.
Even though engine options are nonetheless in flux, an extra physique fashion is really a certainty: a convertible will once more seem and is because of be released a yr or so right after the hatchback involves marketplace. Appear for that new New Beetle to debut in the New York automobile display subsequent April.

It has been ten long years since the last modern adaptation of the iconic Volkswagen T1. The Microbus concept captivated audiences in 2001 with its modern and evolved design that brought the famed hippie-cruiser into the 21st century. The new Bulli concept aims to bring back the sense of freedom and "free-love" in a more compact and environmentally conscious form.
Images of the Bulli have already been released yet there was still much anticipation for the official reveal from show-goers and Microbus fans alike. The new study is an pure electric vehicle that focuses on practicality and simplicity.
The interior is a delightful blend of VW's bauhaus, modern simplistic design and practicality. The 3x3 seating allows for a few of the drivers most personal friends to join in on a theoretical 300 km (185 mile) road trip before having to recharge. The Bulli's practicality doesn't stop there, the seats can retract to form a bed turning the mircobus into a little camper.
The Bulli is actually a concept that makes a lot of sense while also being highly practical. An electric vehicle harking back to the days of the start of the environmental movement; it's a genius idea.
No matter how futuristic the design is, there are many details and elements that pay homage to the original model and its following. A modern day Hippie mobile. Whether it be the two tone paint, classic hub caps and the improved audio system that ensures "the music sounds as though it were being performed live. At Woodstock in 1969. We now seem to know its target audience.
The cars small 40 kWh electric motor allows for a 0-100km/h (62mph) sprint time of 11.0 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 140 km/h (87 mph). So if you have the time to relax and watch the world go by, then this is the small EV for you. The modern take on a classic design is a unique step from Volkswagen and it is nice they let the Vision of the last model mature like a fine wine.

The Golf Cabriolet series has been an on-off affair for Volkswagen ever since the introduction of the original model in the beginning of the 1980s. At the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, the Germans decided to give the Cabriolet another go with the presentation of a new model based on the 6th generation of the Golf that will be sold alongside the firm's Eos hardtop roadster.
The replacement of the roof with an electrically operated cloth top, the redesigned rear end and the more swept-back angle of the front windscreen frame along with the necessary structural reinforcements pretty much sum up the changes over the standard Golf hatchback upon which the Cabriolet is based.
At least in Europe, the Golf Cabriolet Mk6 will be offered with six direct-injection turbocharged diesel and gaosline engines with a power range from 105 PS to 210 PS. Scroll down for the photo gallery from the Geneva Show floors.
