Volkswagen Beetle : Launches in India on December

The original Volkswagen Beetle, which is also popularly called as the “Bug”, has emerged into a new model, with distinct features of its own. German automaker Volkswagen introduced its first model into the market in the year of 1938, while the latest model was brought out in the year 1998. The new model differs from the earlier ones in having its engine in the front and the luggage storage in the rear part of the car. Now, very soon, Indians are also going to experience the fun of riding this sport car.

Volkswagen is likely to announce the launch of Beetle in India, in the beginning of December 2009. However, unlike what is being believed, the veteran car company does not have any plans to compete with the Indian toy car, Nano; as the Beetle will be priced 15 times more, due to the high duty imposed on imported cars. Moreover, the vintage car will provide a speed limit as high as 180 km/hr, whereas the Nano can only touch up to 103 km/hr. Beetle has a conventional front engine.
