How much horsepower does a turbo New Beetle have?
The Turbo S’s increase–180 horsepower and 173 pound-feet of torque versus the base 1.8T models’ 150 horsepower and 162 pound-feet–is mostly due to more turbo boost: 11.6 psi versus 8.7.
When did the Volkswagen New Beetle come out?

What’s the quarter mile time of a new VW Beetle?
Allied with a new six-speed manual transmission–the only gearbox available with this package—Volkswagen engineers expect the Turbo S to shave 0.8 second off the 1.8T model’s 0-to-60-mph times. Doing the arithmetic relative to our long-term New Beetle 1.8T would put the S in the mid-six-second range, with a quarter-mile time in the low 15s.
What kind of wheels does the New Beetle have?
The design of the 7.0-by-17-inch alloy wheels is unique to this package, although the P225/45R-17 all-season tires and slightly stiffer spring and damping rates are also available on GLS and GLX New Beetles with the 1.8 turbo motor. Another element common to these three models is a deployable spoiler, which resides just above the rear window.
