Volkswagen New Beetle Cup

Volkswagen New Beetle Cup
Debut series	First Editions
Produced	2002 - 2016
Designer	Phil Riehlman
Number	52937

Description

A unique feature of the original casting is that the body can be separated and "pop-off" from the base via a latch. The interior and roll cage remain fixed on the base. The red insert features a very realistic front engine. By 2010 the modified casting did not allow the vehicle to be disassembled as the original.
