Volkswagen Beetle Convertible spy photos

Although this mule looks very much like the old (although technically 'New') Beetle convertible, it's indeed a prototype of the upcoming Beetle soft-top.

The look of the new Volkswagen Beetle has been a hit worldwide, with its more masculine lines hinting at its ability to attract a more gender-neutral market.

The Golf-based Beetle convertible will add yet another open-top model the company's line-up, which already includes the Golf Cabriolet and Eos. Expect the range of turbocharged petrol and diesel engines to mirror that of the hard-top Beetle hatch.
