What looks good on a Porsche 911 GT3 RS won’t always look good on a Volkswagen, and I personally find this a rather garish effort for the first new 2012 Beetle tuning. But then again, we are in the world of tuning where exaggeration is prized, and we’re talking a big arrival on the car market this year in the form of the 2012 Volkswagen Beetle.

The Beetle RS Stage 1 comes from the guys at VWvortex and the eye-catching livery is inspired by the Porsche 911 GT3 RS. The model seen is a pre-production Beetle as the car won’t actually be on the market for tuners to get their hands on for another few months. This tuned Beetle has a set of VMW 710 20-inch wheels in orange, and Continental ExtremeContact DW tyres. Bright red callipers are thrown in for good measure.

A few graphics, brushed titanium and some blacked-out chrome trim finish the exterior, although you might be wondering with a name like “stage 1″ what stage two might involve. According to the guys at CarScoop it will be a 997 GT3 RS inspired rear wing.
