The 19 inch wheels where the VW Beetle Concept stands are painted in aluminum caps. The track of the rear axle shift is now wider 10 mm each of the wheels. As the result the new Beetle’s suspension is lowered by approximately 30mm compared to the previous model.

Inside the car, the dashboard is trimmed in two- tone wood styling theme which also commonly found on a number Fender guitars. On the other part, particular controls located on the center console were reworked in order to make those look like as used on Fender’s guitar bass amplifiers.

For the features and equipments, the Beetle Concept has been equipped with high- end audio system from Fender and a special socket as well, placed in the boot area which enables the electric guitar to be plugged in along with its sound played over the subwoofer which is also incorporated in the boot.
