The new Volkswagen Beetle for 2012 is turning into a big car on the US car market, despite its size, and after the first Beetle tuning from VWvortex, we get this limited edition Beetle Black Turbo Launch Edition. A production run of just 600 is planned for this model, and it can be ordered with a deposit of a mere 495 USD. The model will cost 24,950 USD (taxes excluded), which is equivalent to about 17,400 euros.

The Beetle Black Turbo Launch Edition comes with the 2.0 TSI Turbo engine with 200 hp, DSG gearbox and sports suspension. That’s quite an offer, when you think about it, but on a first come, first served basis, there should be a rush on the limited number. The model is available only in pearl black, with shiny wheels, dedicated graphics and interior carbonfibre trim.

Compare that to the standard Volkswagen Beetle entry level model for the US which is based on the five-cylinder, 2.5-litre aspirated engine with 170 hp costing 18,995 USD, and you’ve got yourself a near bargain. Here in Europe, the 2012 Beetle will arrive in autumn with a range of turbo TSI petrol and TDI diesel engines.
