SHELBY SUPERCARS 2012 'NExTgENERATION'

2012 VOLKSWAgEN BEETLE BLACK TURBO LAUNCH EDITION

Do not call this a sports car any longer. A supercar works to describe this Millenium Falcon-like machine. Definitely fast and furious – beating their own record from 2007: 'Nextgeneration' features a 1350 horsepower engine, going up to 275 mph (approx. 443 kmh). The design is inspired “from prototype race cars' mechanical layout and proportions, and the innovative spirit of the American aerospace industry.” Take off with the Shelby – in your dreams! Unless you got 970.000 $.

Volkswagen turns the iconic Beetle into a bold black little panther in a limited run of 600 models. Fitted with Volkswagen's DSg® dualclutch automatic transmission and the acclaimed 2.0-liter, in-line fourcylinder turbocharged engine, the little bad boy produces 200 horsepower and 207 lb-ft. of torque. With the automatic transmission you can even make it down to 30 mpg on the highway. Only available through online pre-order via the Amazon E-Commerce platform.
