Only 3,500 cars worldwide; Volkswagen presents the new Beetle GSR in Chicago Show

Volkswagen launches a Beetle designed solely with dynamics in mind - the new GSR. The exclusive, powerful 155 kw/210 ps model will take centre stage at its world premiere at the Chicago Auto Show from February 7-18. Limited edition: 3,500 cars; worldwide.
GSR – a quaint abbreviation with a legendary predecessor - the 'Yellow/Black Racer' based on the Beetle 1303 S. And only 3,500 cars of the earlier model were produced as well. Exactly 40 years ago, the sportiest series production Beetle of all time made its debut. Its yellow/black body made it instantly recognisable. In 2013, Volkswagen is writing a further chapter in the history of the iconic car with the new Beetle GSR. Just like its predecessor, the current version is also being launched as a two-colour model. Orders for the Beetle GSR can be made from May onwards; the cars will be delivered from the autumn. Price in Germany is € 30,300.
