Highlighted by a number of unique exterior features and near-luxury interior attributes, the Beetle Cabriolet Karmann is based on the "Design" equipment line, which includes a wind deflector and the Park Pilot parking distance monitor and can be ordered in any engine and transmission configurations.

Engine options thus include anything from the 2.5-liter to the turbo 2.0-liter units, as well as the more frugal TDI Clean Diesel oil burner, while transmission offerings consists of a six-speed manual and a six-speed dual-clutch.


Making the Beetle Karmann stand out of the pack is a set of 18-inch "Disc" design wheels fitted with chrome caps and a Sioux Brown electric top that can be paired with seven different exterior body paints. In addition, a Karmann badge mounted on the front fender tells that this Beetle ain’t a regular bug.

Once the doors are open, a set of Karmann-branded sills show up beneath them, while the sports seats are complemented by a leather-wrapped steering wheel and sporty, aluminum-crafted pedals. Rounding off the unique interior is a matte-aluminum dash pad.
