Volkswagen New Beetle

The Volkswagen New Beetle is a compact car, re-introduced by Volkswagen in 1997, drawing heavy inspiration from the exterior design of the original Beetle. Unlike the original Beetle, the New Beetle has its engine in the front, driving the front wheels, with luggage storage in the rear. Many special editions have been released, such as the "Malibu Barbie" New Beetle. The New Beetle was discontinued in 2011 and replaced with a model simply called as Beetle (with internal code of A5), itself discontinued in 2019 and was the base model of the Volkswagen Beetle Gr.3 race car.

==Trivia==
*The information in Polyphony's write-up isn't entirely accurate. The hot hatch version of the car is known not simply as the "Turbo", but as the GLS or GLX, and used a 150 bhp, 1.8 liter, 20V 4-cylinder engine far separated from the base 2.0 liter 8V 4-cylinder, and also featured an automatic spoiler located at the top of the hatch. 
*In addition to the base model and turbocharged New Beetles, there was a limited edition known as the Turbo S, made from 2002 through 2004, with redesigned front and rear fascia, five spoke rims and a sportier interior, and a tuned version of the 1.8 liter turbo engine putting out 180 bhp. The Turbo S has yet to make an appearance in any Gran Turismo game.
