With the VW Beetle Dune to the beach or skiing

The study was presented for the first time last year at the Detroit Auto Show, and it is a Beetle with increased ground clearance, plastic borders on the lower part of the body, chassis protection and engine compartment and tires with an off-road profile. Compared to the standard versions, the Dune will have a 29 mm wider track and a 50 mm higher ground clearance.

Although he was driving the studio two-liter TSI turbo gasoline engine with 154 kW or 210 hp and DSG automatic transmission, but it is expected that the serial version will get some other engines from VW's current range, initially TSI units. Unlike the study, which had electronically controlled 4WD, however, it will drive in the serial version, the timer is run only on the front wheel pair. But it should get the dune treatment as well as the hatchback convertible version of the current beetle.
