On the base level, the Beetle features four Fender Deluxe tweeters to get those high notes out with zero distortion. There are two 20 cm 7. The two 16 cm 6. Rounding out the entire system is a 20 cm 7. Regardless of their roots and travels they go through getting to the Beetle, this system is simply phenomenal.
So this means that the Fender Edition boasts the same drivetrain and engine as a Turbo model, which is awesome. The 2. Linked to this engine is a standard 6-speed manual trans that feed the power to the front wheels. The Turbo model has an optional 6-speed automatic, so we assume the Fender Edition will have the same options. Our only complaint, which remains true through the whole beetle line, is that it only comes in front-wheel drive.
All of this power combines to make the Beetle Turbo the fasted production Beetle ever, reaching 60 mph in just 6. In addition to the additional ponies, this boosted 2.

We will give you our final ruling once the official pricing comes out. The Beetle Fender Edition stands out with unique interior and exterior styling.
