2017
Volkswagen Beetle in Pink
VW has
announced that their so-called #PinkBeetle is set to go into production as the
first ever vehicle to be officially named with its own hashtag.
The 2017
#PinkBeetle is a US-only limited edition model, featuring a 1.8-liter
turbocharged TSI engine and a 6-speed automatic gearbox, helping it put down
its 170 HP and 249 Nm of torque.
Its exterior
boasts a unique shade of Fresh Fuchsia Metallic paint, as well as gloss-black
mirror caps and black running boards, though where the Coupe versions come with
17" multi-spoke Linas alloys, the Convertibles feature 18" five-spoke
Twister wheels.
Both versions
are equipped with Bi-Xenon headlights with LED Daytime Running Lights, LED
taillights and LED rear license plate lighting as standard.
Inside, the
#PinkBeetle has a black dashpad with a surrounding pink accent and a
leather-wrapped steering wheel with paddle shifters. The Pink Club cloth seats
are supposed to mimic the GTI's signature plaid inserts by replacing the red
striping with a pink hue.
The limited edition Beetle comes with VW's MIB II Infotainment system,
App-Connect technology (Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and MirrorLink), all
accessible through a 6.3" touchscreen. USB and Bluetooth connectivity is
standard, as are the heated front seats, keyless entry system, push-button
start system, rear-view camera and the 3-month trial for SiriusXM Satellite
Radio.
