AUTOS: VW Beetle Gets Fender Sound

New Fender Edition models feature sound systems from the Fender guitar and amplifier company.

The 2013 Volkswagen Beetle has joined the automaker's family of Fender Edition cars featuring an audio system created by the makers of Fender guitars and amplifiers.

The system consists of a 10-channel, 400-watt amplifier with four Fender tweeters, two Fender Twin speakers, two Fender rears and a Bassman subwoofer.

Other unique pieces include Fender badges on the front fenders and special dashboard, black metallic paint and chrome mirrors.

The Fender Edition comes as a base model Beetle and sunroof package with the 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine that produces 170 horsepower with either five-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission, or the 2-liter turbocharged TSI engine with 200 horsepower with six-speed manual or six-speed dual-clutch automatic.

The Beetle Fender Edition is priced at $25,235, including $795 destination That's only $370 more than last year's special edition. The 2.0-liter Fender Edition starts at $28,925. The special models will hit dealerships this month.
