The Beetle is no matter where a phenomenon shows up in the world, it. Whether in Detroit that is wintry, venerable Boston or bright San Francisco - the roads are more vibrant with life, and the Beetle is carefree. Exactly the same occurs in in rocking London, along with in Asian metropolises and cities in the southern hemisphere including Sydney and Cape Town like exuberant Tokyo and the exotic Hong Kong, and pulsing Berlin. The Beetle. As convertible and a coupe. The more extreme is this happening of likeability, the greater the amounts of the layout icon that populate the roads. Now a fresh variant is being added by Volkswagen: with the world premiere. A Beetle with a cool, broad and solid appearance that is offroad; a car outside the mainstream.

But everything relating to this automobile is possible virtually a generation vehicle. And until this state thaws the Dune will reveal even the year's chilly season has its fascinating side: winter sports. That's the reason designers buckled some to the rear of the Beetle, whose body was increased 50 mm. Like the mythical Beetle of the air cooled sports car and days past. Dune - its name, its body that is raised, big 19-inch tires and all terrain appearance just like the VW buggies conquered dunes and shores previous, all call out for this. And in summer time, skis are attached to the trunk lid - latched on roof spoiler and the back body - surfing on dunes for example those by intelligent mechanisms in Florence, Oregon. Sandboarding hot spots that are new are emerging there are dunes on earth. In the Beetle Dune, idea is being revisited by Volkswagen. While the concept car revealed in California was science fiction, particularly in roof construction and its inside, in the Dune is appearing considerably more sensibly towards a generation vehicle.

The Dune theory harbors the prospect of a fresh generation variant of the most sporty Beetle. Painted in "Arizona" - a yellowish-orange metallic. This warm colour the state is certain to elevate the mood. The two-component wheel are offset in black. The difference here: incorporated together with the primary matt parts are what are known as "blades" - components which are only 1.5 millimeters thick, as thin as a shaver. They may actually hover above the fairly enormous wheel casings, because the matt and glossy parts don't contact one another right. The wheel casings - each -hexagonal cutout - widen the body by a significant 24 millimeter on each side for a complete width of 1,856 millimeter (increase of 48 mm). The Beetle Dune is 4,290 millimeters long (increase of 12 mm) and 1,536 millimeters tall (increase of 50 millimeter).

In keeping with the beetle's bigger body width, the path width of the automobile was improved by 29 millimeter to 1,607 millimeter in front and by 29 millimeter to 1,573 millimeter at the back. Because of this, and additionally due to its low wheel pitch of 33 mm (instead of 44 millimeter), the 19-inch wheels (diameter: 723 millimeter) fill out the wheel casings very well.

The sills are painted in high- where the phenomenon join to the body polish black. The Dune symbol that was distinctive, meanwhile, is put into the region before the back wing. The door mirror casings are vapor- . The foot of the mirror that's incorporated in the A-pillar's window triangle is not white.

The designers developed a fresh layout for a number of the front end parts. In this procedure, the fundamental layout that was iconic and bi-xenon round headlights were maintained. New, nevertheless, is the layout of the engine hood that is more magnetic. The center is now higher. Bordered by borders that are exact, the top portions of the recessed lateral surfaces of the big hood have a notable engine port. The port displays that are black have a honeycomb appearance with fins; a chrome strip is incorporated at the center of all these displays which runs.

Like the hood, the front apron, which includes already been redesigned, additionally makes an exceptionally dynamic impression. The Hood's styling features a big air intake in the middle with a black honeycomb display (a typical layout characteristic of the Volkswagen Cross versions). The A- this emphasizes the dominant and sporty appearance, and shaped display widens in a down way. The display has a chrome-plated environment that additionally functions as underbody protection.

To right and the left of aluminum underbody protection and the central air intake, there are two inserts that go towards the center in a trapezoidal shape; their frameworks are painted in high-polish black like the wheel's angular surfaces flares. These inserts feature an illumination layout that is highly advanced. The LED fog lights are incorporated here in a semicircular pattern. From interior, the LED bands have a matt finish, causing a light band that is uniform. At the middle a nozzle that is stylized highlights the general fog lamp module's three dimensional appearance. An illuminating band is emitted in the chrome trim, when the turn signal is activated by the driver.

The multifunctional back segment of the VW Beetle Dune shows impressively that it's even possible to reverse the layout maxim "form follows function".

And really to any area, although not only an excursion to Florence or to Aspen at the center of the state skis must be transported. The skis are only mounted to the exterior. To achieve this, the outer left and right portions of the rear spoiler's black high-polish part are swiveled out; the skis are subsequently put into the spoiler, by swiveling the black part back in position then it's shut. At the top, the skis slip into a receptacle of the roof spoiler that is especially developed; there they're fixed with belt that is 20 millimeter broad. Seen from your side, the roof spoiler has the look of a totally aerodynamic wing. The love can also be represented in the concept car's skis: Like the add on parts, they may be painted in glossy black Volkswagen emblem and the Dune signature are cancel in matt black. The automobile the skis go is definitely identified by a shape of the Volkswagen Beetle Dune in its outdoor colour. Incidentally, even with skis mounted to the automobile the trunk lid can be opened readily at any time.

The lower segment of the fender is styled in a classy black; the surfaces around the wrap around extension of the upper wheel and the license plate well are painted in high gloss black.
