Volkswagen is the world's most pioneering automaker. Look no further than the technological and material innovations built into the New Beetle for proof.

The New Beetle transcends the metal it's made from. Every piece is rounded, every surface smooth. Every functional part from bumpers to spoilers, to mirror housings, to doorhandles is colour coded, blended, integrated. The headlights and the taillight are set directly in the body. Nothing breaks the sculptured flow.

And this flowing sweep of perfection is mirrored in the interior design of the car: a swept back dashboard area disappears over your driving horizon toward the tinted windscreen.
