The Volkswagen Beetle Fender Edition has been unveiled at the 2012 Leipzig motor show in Germany, on June 2.

Volkswagen Beetle Fender Edition is powered by a 2.0L turbocharged generating 200 bhp. Features of this special edition include 18" alloys, bi-xenon headlamps, painted dashboard, Fender logo, 400W nine speakers, sub-woofer, and tweeters. Read the Press Release below and get to know the new Beetle Fender Edition.

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.

Inside, the dashboard is painted to take on the same glowing hue Fender guitars have. Unfortunately, it sounds like it isn’t real wood. The seats also have exclusive fabric inserts, though the best interior feature is the Fender sound system, also found in the Jetta GLI. Outside, the car has 18-inch chrome “Disc” rims, a deep black paint finish and brushed chrome mirror caps.

The cabin is fitted with a 400-watt, nine-speaker Fender premium audio system. The system comprises four front tweeters, twin 20cm front and 16cm rear speakers, a 20cm Fender Bassman subwoofer and a 10-channel amplifier.

Press Release


THE BEETLE FENDER EDITION: TWO ICONS, ONE STATEMENT


  • Volkswagen presents a new special edition of the Beetle at the Leipzig Auto Show

  • Interior features "Sunburst" dash and contrasting stitching
  • Brushed chrome side mirrors, 18-inch "Disc" aluminum-alloy wheels

First seen as a concept car at the Frankfurt International Auto Show in 2011, the production version of the Beetle Fender Edition makes its world debut at the Leipzig International Auto Show. Volkswagen's iconic coupe is not only fitted with the outstanding premium Fender© sound system, but also visually demonstrates its affiliation with the American musical icon.


The Beetle Fender Edition stands out with unique interior and exterior styling. Its distinctively painted dashboard features the quintessential sunburst color of Fender guitars, and the vehicle's interior is accented with color-contrasting seams that complement the dash's colors.

The Fender Premium Audio System debuted in the Jetta GLI in the U.S., but the Beetle is the first VW vehicle in Europe equipped with the high-performance sound setup. Using 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.
