Volkswagen Beetle Fender Edition revealed

By George on June 1st, 2012

First seen as a concept at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 2011, the production version of the Beetle Fender Edition has made its world debut at the Leipzig International Auto Show.

Volkswagen’s iconic coupe is fitted with the outstanding premium Fender sound system, also visually demonstrating its affiliation with the American musical icon.

The Beetle Fender Edition features distinctively painted dashboard in sunburst color of Fender guitars, and the vehicle’s interior is accented with color-contrasting seams that complement the dash’s colors. Beetle Fender Edition is equipped with the 200-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder TSI engine.

Outside, all Beetle Fender Edition vehicles are painted in Deep Black Metallic and also feature brushed chrome exterior mirrors, 18-inch “Disc” aluminum-alloy wheels, Bi-Xenon headlights, and the famous Fender logo.

The Fender Premium Audio System uses proprietary Panasonic speaker technology, the system cuts through noise and other distraction with front dual-voice coil speakers to create a soundstage closely akin to a true, live performance. The concert-quality audio won CNET.com’s “Best-sounding car stereo” award.
