Los Angeles Auto Show: Volkswagen Beetle R Concept

This is the Volkswagen Beetle R Concept, a preview for the upcoming Beetle R that would enter production, most likely positioned below the Golf R and Scirocco R, subject to the reception and reaction to the Concept model on show at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

Looking production ready, the Volkswagen R GmbH-developed Beetle R Concept wears 20" alloys, an aggressive body kit that widens the car by 30 mm at the front and rear bumpers, a rear diffuser that houses four exhaust pipes, and a large rear spoiler.

While unconfirmed, the Beetle R could be powered by the same 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 270 HP and 350 Nm as in the Golf R and Scirocco R, along with the same 4Motion all-wheel-drive system and dual-clutch transmission.

When the euphoria of test-driving that branded, super-expensive sports car dies down, he just goes home in his less-than-glamorous ride.
