VW Beetle Fender Edition,TDI Versions Coming This Fall

Volkswagen Meets Fender - A Bug for Music Lovers

Rock n’ roll is here to stay and so is the VW Beetle Fender Edition. Originally introduced as a concept last year at the Frankfurt Auto Show, the Fender Edition of the redesigned Beetle caused such a buzz, Volkswagen will now produce the vehicle and bring it to the U.S. starting this fall.

Based around the high ‘Design’ trim level, the Fender Beetle packs the ultimate vehicle audio system, designed by, you guessed it, the experts at Fender. Controlled by the standard RCD 510 touchscreen, the sound system includes two high-end tweeters in each side mirror and rear side panel, and woofers with double voice coils in the front doors. The system’s subwoofer is located in the trunk and the center of the sound system is a 10-channel amplifier with class A/B power amps and an output of 400 watts. Follow along with us on Twitter and Facebook to keep posted on when a Fender Edition Beetle will be in a dealership near you.
