Volkswagen has released the first details of its all-new Beetle cabriolet, appropriately enough in sunny California.
It's thankfully sticking with the traditional fabric roof, rather than a complicated folding hard top, but in true Beetle tradition the windscreen is still bolt upright and the roof, when folded, sits pram-like on top of the rear deck.
Impressively though, it can be opened up in as little as 10secs and and works at speeds of up to 48kmh. Handy for non-Californian downpours that.
Entry levels cars will get the 105bhp 1.2 TSI turbo petrol, while 105bhp 1.6 TDI diesel, 140bhp 2.0 TDI diesel, 160bhp 1.4 TSI turbo petrol and a range-topping 200bhp 2.0 TSI (effectively a Golf GTI engine) will be available too.
Now, if only we could get a little of the weather from these photos...
