Volkswagen will be assessing public reaction to the Beetle Pink Color Edition and a limited edition is possible if that reaction is positive. Volkswagen is showing the concept car as a coupe, but it could also be built as a convertible,” reads a statement.

The Beetle R-Line concept, powered by a 217-hp 2.0-liter TSI engine, takes this further and makes an extremely sporty statement,” reads the release. “The Beetle R-Line concept is finished in Oryx White Pearl effect paint and has a customized exterior featuring aggressive bumpers that have large air vents at the front and wrap-around high-gloss black moldings that extend down the sides of the car.”
