Volkswagen Beetle R Concept gets shot of testosterone

Volkswagen Beetle R Concept gets shot of testosterone

Volkswagen adds another dollop of masculinity to its Beetle with the Frankfurt debut of the Beetle R Concept. Painted in "Serious Grey," and fitted with bright 20-inch "Talladega" alloy wheels, the high-performance derivative is appealing. Under the hood of the front-wheel-drive coupe is VW's familiar turbocharged 2.0 TSI four-cylinder mated to a six-speed DSG automatic gearbox. The automaker hasn't announced an official power rating, but we suspect it is making about 240 horsepower.
