==In-game Description==
This description is taken from the PAL version of Gran Turismo 2:
The new Volkswagen Beetle's cute outline may be borrowed from its 21-million-selling predecessor, but that's where the likeness ends. Underneath the curvy body and wild interior the reborn bug is a thoroughly modern car, developed to be just as amusing to drive as it is to look at. The sophisticated chassis is borrowed straight from the MkIV Golf. All-independent suspension is provided by MacPherson struts at the front with a torsion beam axle and trailing arms at the rear. Anti-roll bars provide extra stability at both ends, while revised chassis settings give even sportier manners through corners thanMisspelled "that" in-game the equivalent Golf. And while the original Beetle provided stripped-bare rear-engined transport, the new Beetle is front-engined and packed with advanced features. Power steering is a standard fit, as are anti-lock brakes, electronic brake force distribution to prevent the brakes from overheating and an electronic differential lock to assist a spinning front wheel. Strong grip is promised by big 16-inch wheels with wide 205/55 low-profile tyres. There's no asthmatic air-cooled engine under the bonnet here either. Alongside a turbodiesel, petrol power is laid on by a choice of a two-litre four-cylinder engine producing 115bhp at 5,200rpm, a turbocharged 1.8-litre 20-valve four-cylinder with 150bhp at 5,900rpm (as also found in the quickest Golf GTI) or a more refined 2.3-litre V5 engine giving 150bhp at 6,000rpm. Performance is brisk, the two-litre managing 0-62mph in 10.9 seconds before hitting 113mph. The real tearaways of the Beetle line-up are the 1.8-litre turbo and V5, returning similar figures of 0-62mph in 8.9 seconds and 129mph flat-out. Production finally began following several appearances as a highly popular motor show concept car. Now for just nostalgic pootling about or heading for the track and taking on all-comers, the new Beetle is ready to entertain.

==Trivia==
*An entry for VW Beatle 1.9 (note the typo) can be found in GT2 demos' replay name listings, but the car was cut from the final game. Noticably, while it does not have a body of it's own, it does have engine and parts data, but the engine's low redline means that it will not work properly when forcibly loaded or used in-game, as the game was not designed to handle redlines lower than 5000 rpm.Proto:Gran Turismo 2/Cars - String-Only Cars on The Cutting Room Floor
