    Volkswagen New Beetle Ragster Concept 2005

    New Beetle Ragster In a nutshell
    World premiere – the hottest Beetle ever

    Study of the New Beetle Ragster with a roof lowered by 150 millimeters
    Large-sized ragtop, newly designed exterior, racing car bucket seats, cargo area

    • Wolfsburg / Detroit. It’s a statement, an automotive way of
    life. More than 800.000 drive one, the Volkswagen with the
    perhaps most famous design in the world: the New Beetle.
    For the North American International Auto Show in Detroit
    the German company presents the hot potential of the design
    classic – with a study on the New Beetle Ragster. Its most
    visible characteristic: a drastically dropped roof with a large
    ragtop.

    • Ragtop + Speedster = Ragster The development team based
    the Ragster on the reinforced convertible, shortening the Apillars
    by about 90 millimeters and creating a set u-shaped
    roof fixing for the Ragtop’s frame. It becomes instantly clear
    where the „Hot Rod“ with its ragtop and speedster
    dimensions got its name.

    • New design: The Ragster shows new visual ways. And this
    does not only hold true for the top. The fenders, bumpers,
    headlights, tail lights and 19” aluminum rims are all newly
    designed as well and more progressive and sporty than ever.
    Newly designed interior: Racing car bucket seats, sports car
    type steering wheel with integrated engine start button (right
    side) and ragtop control (left side), center console and the
    extremely clean designed cargo area.

    • Power? Anything goes: The drive - A powerful gasoline
    engine or a high torque TDI are imaginable. Although it has
    yet to be determined which motor will be built and if the
    study will be produced in series – Anything goes. Just as in
    New Beetle Ragster / NAIAS 2005 / Volkswagen / 2
    Concept 1, the study on the New Beetle, which also started in
    Detroit. - A great place for a world premiere…

    Its strange how they designed the new beetle to represent the old one, and to re-live the legend, but now theyve successfully done that they make stuff like this which completely ignores the fact that its a modernised VW Beetle. They should realy leave it alone and keep the concept cars for something else.

    He came dancing across the water
    With his galleons and guns
    Looking for the new world
    In that palace in the sun
    On the shore lay Montezuma

    The only word to describe this car is "silly." Beetles should be cute or fun, but no delusions of Porschehood, please.

    From the side it looks absolutely stunning
    I think Koenigsegg is Swedish for: "Oh no, my head's just exploded!"
