Continuing its long-lasting love affair with special edition models, Volkswagen has announced the launch of the 'Black-Orange' series for the New Beetle hatch and convertible. Both body styles are available with either a black finish and contrasting white stripes on the sides or an orange finish with black stripes. The exterior package is complemented by a set of 17-inch five-spoke alloy wheels.

There are no photos of the interior, but Volkswagen said that the special edition New Beetles get a three-spoke leather steering wheel, aluminum pedals and sport seats with a unique design plus floor mats and gear leather trim with contrasting orange stitching.

The vehicle's standard equipment also includes air conditioning, an upgraded audio system, center armrest and electric windows.

The New Beetle 'Black Orange' models are available with several engine options with prices in Germany starting from €22,550 (around US$33,800) for the hatch with the 102HP 1.6-liter petrol engine.
