R-Rated Beetle For Testosterone Enhancement
Wolfsburg is working hard on making the (new) Beetle’s image a bit manlier. It hopes to get support for this endeavor from two R-Line packages that are based on the top “Sport” version: an exterior package and an interior package.
Says the press release: “The exterior package may be ordered separately, while the interior package is always offered as an extension of the R-Line exterior details.” You figure it out.
The exterior package comes with 18 inch alloys (19 inch optional) and some bumper and side panel mods. The interior package comes with sport seats “upholstered with an active-breathing fabric in “Kyalami” design” ( you figure it out again) and some badges.

I assume this is the Turbo Beetle, right? How much does the "R-Line" treatment cost?
I've always liked the Beetle, and have never thought of it as feminine, not even the 1998-2010 "New Beetle." I guess maybe I've never had any doubts about my own masculinity..?
