“There is a proposal for the Beetle R, but I can’t tell you how far the project is,” said Ms Koeckler.

“But I can assure you if there is an opportunity to get close to the Beetle R we will look at it, because Australians like R models, but only if the price is right and the package is as well.

“For the time being, it is too early to confirm its existence. There isn’t even a car in existence for “The Beetle for us is an iconic model and one me to have a look at, but we will keep on asking that helps us talk about the brand. It is part of for it.” our 60 years in Australia. Eventually the Beetle Convertible should make “It would probably do a similar number to its way to Australia, although Volkswagen says what we sold before, maybe a little bit more, it has enough drop-tops to sell with the ageing maybe a little bit less. Eos (launched in 2006 and face lifted in 2011) and Golf 6 Cabriolet (released in late 2011). “In the beginning we see more people go for a new car like this because they fall in love with When the Eos is discontinued in about two design, and after a couple of years we see a years, Volkswagen may import the Beetle drop-off.” Convertible, although a Passat cabriolet has been proposed as a replacement for the Eos. Volkswagen pulled off a surprise at the launch by mentioning the Beetle Fender, a special edition for the US market that celebrates the Golf 7 wins World Car famous guitar-maker, which may also come to Australia. of the Year

“We might work on some special editions, and we should be creative like we have been already with the Fender edition, as an opportunity to keep people’s interest in the model alive,” said Ms Koeckler.

The Beetle GSR is an example, using a 155 kW/280 Nm 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine from the Golf GTI, as opposed to the regular 118 kW/240 Nm 1.4 TSI Twincharger unit. This helps the Beetle GSR to reach 100km/h in 7.3 seconds, on the way to a 229 km/h top speed.

Silva said it was his desire to revolutionise the next Scirocco, which is due to launch around the middle of this decade.

“It must be completely different. Completely,” de Silva said.

“We don’t want to repeat the body style of the Scirocco, we want to change that.”

The lead stylist admitted the new Volkswagen Scirocco was still in the design phase, and said that – while confirmed for production – few specifics of the car had been signed off at this stage.

“At the moment it’s only a studio [project],” he said. “It’s not defined at the moment. Back in the late 1980’s early 90’s we saw the release of some of Beetle pedal cars made in “We are still working … but we are looking 360 China which I have featured here in red. degrees.”

De Silva said he was determined to enhance the sportiness of the Volkswagen portfolio with Scirocco – in his words, following the lead of sister brands Audi and Seat.

Despite his desire for change, de Silva refused to give any hints to what form the Scirocco could take if it was to move away from its traditional three-door coupe body style.

Volkswagen launched the original Giorgetto Giugiaro-designed Scirocco in 1974 and followed it up with the second-generation model in 1982 (neither of these were ever sold There were two versions one was the in Australia). After lying dormant for 16 years, traditional peddle mechanism and the other the Scirocco re-emerged in 2008 as a low- was a full battery operated version which was slung coupe based on the Golf 5 and continues very rare but a real bonus as the peddle version in that form to this day.

While available overseas with a full range of petrol and diesel power plants, Australia – which finally received the car belatedly in 2011 – gets only the high-performance Scirocco R variant that is priced from $47,990.

Volkswagen Group Australia has previously said it has no plans to expand its Scirocco line- up in the model’s current lifecycle, but will consider all options when the new model arrives in the coming years.

Today these are selling for good money in antique shops and on line some have been very run down but are still selling for the original market prices and some people have even gone a long way to restore some of these to their original condition.

Others have also fabricated some versions of their own including some great kombi variations as seen here.

They also made a metal and a plastic version, the metal being heavier to pedal.

The range of colours from memory was candy apple red, Black, blue and yellow .The pedal version would set you back about $200 or for an extra $100 you got the battery version. I bought one for my daughter Holly before she

V-Dubs in the Square at Albury

It was 6.10am and just turning light when two classic Beetles and a Golf Station-wagon briefly met in the car park of George Harcourt Inn before heading up the Barton/Hume Highways out of Canberra to take part in Albury's inaugural 'V-DUBS in the Square'. We cruised at an average of 65mph, performed a very quick pit stop at Gundagai and arrived in the centre of Albury just before 10am, just in time to pay our $10 show-and-shine fee before the 'AlburyCrew' headed off to judge the cars.

The weather and venue at QE2 Square, Dean Street, were perfect! We were in the centre of town close to amenities and shops of every description. Show vehicles were parked in two -and-half neat rows on lush grass and the array of new and old Volkswagens was impressive. The water cooled fraternity

A very successful event, which was well organised and run, will undoubtedly see many of this year's entrants return in 2014!

Albury is a relatively central location from the three main cities which many participants call home: 557km from Sydney, 327km from Melbourne and 338km from Canberra. I suspect other regional enthusiasts would have also been attracted because of this.]

The new up!

The new up! is big on the inside yet small on the outside. Feature-wise, it’s got everything you’d expect from a big car, except the big car. And it’s so safe that it’ll even hit the brakes in an emergency.*

Try one on for size at your nearest Volkswagen dealer.

*City Emergency Braking helps the driver avoid a low speed crash or reduce its severity when the vehicle is travelling between 5 km/h and 30 km/h. It is not a substitute for the driver’s attentiveness, responsibility, or driving skills. Function may become inactive in some driving conditions or adverse weather. VGA4401_up!/VW/0413

Why drive anything else?

The all new Golf.

There are plenty of cars on the road. But there’s only one World Car of the Year. Completely redesigned, the new Golf sports a roomier interior, more driver assistance systems, and BlueMotion Technologies as standard. And those aren’t the only reasons it’s leaving the competition behind – thanks to plenty of torque and tighter handling. There’s even the peace of mind that comes with Capped Price Servicing*. Find out more about the new Golf at volkswagen.com.au

*Capped price servicing is available at participating Volkswagen dealers on New Golf manual and DSG models first sold by an authorised Volkswagen dealer on or after 27 April 2013. Capped price servicing applies to the first 6 standard scheduled services of your vehicle which are scheduled to occur at every 15,000 km/12 month interval (whichever occurs first). Exclusions and conditions apply. For details on pricing, items not included in the capped price and for full terms and conditions please see volkswagen.com.au. Volkswagen Group Australia reserves the right to at any time modify or discontinue the Capped Price Servicing program. VGA4396/ClubV W/0513
