The Beetle received an exterior kit that brings a more dynamic image and now rides on custom lightweight alloy rims, with customers being able to choose from sizes between 18 and 20 inches.

The 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel engine has received an output boost of 30 hp and 50 Nm (37 lb-ft) and now produces 170 hp and 370 Nm (273 lb-ft). This allows the oil-burning Beetle to deal with the 0 to 62 mph sprint in 8.8 seconds, which makes it 0.6 seconds quicker than the stock model.

The list of tech mods also includes beefier brakes, as well as a sports suspension that allows the driver to tackle the bends with more confidence.
