The soft top opens in 9.5 seconds and the model is fitted with a rollover protection system that deploys within milliseconds of the car leaning at a dangerous angle.

Five equipment versions are available:- Beetle, Design, Design Exclusive, Sport and Sport Exclusive.

Owners can also choose from three limited-edition models: 50's, 60's or 70's Edition.
