Limited Edition Beetle GSR unveiled at Chicago Auto Show

Limited Edition Beetle GSR unveiled at Chicago Auto Show.

The stripey new GSR secures a 150 hp increase from its predecessor, amping up power to the front wheels to 200 hp, enabling a sprint to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 7.3 seconds. With a top speed of 230 km/h (143 mph), power is made available to the wheels via either a 6-speed manual or DSG autobox. VW’s tried and true, turbo-charged 4 cylinder provides the go juice. And unlike the 40 year old’s 15-inch steel rim setup, the new GSR gets serious footing with black “Tornado” 19-inch alloy wheels and 235/40 rubbers.

Volkswagen's new Beetle GSR - only 3,500 will be made worldwide

I think they look “ok” and 200 hp ain’t bad in the little two door.  Can’t owning one, however they are going to be limited to 200!!!
