All About Ducati: 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet at York Auto Show this April

2013 Volkswagen Beetle Cabriole

It won't be long before VW officially presents the 2013 Beetle Cabriolet, as according to sources, the world premiere is planned for the New York Auto Show this April ahead of an on-sale-date later in the year, but our scoop photographers snagged new shots of a nearly camouflage-free prototype while undergoing its final tests.

The test car seen in these photos featured a trick disguise around the headlamps, the lower part of the front bumper and the taillights to make it look like the older model.

Just like its predecessor, the new Beetle Cabriolet, also known as a Convertible in certain markets, comes with a traditional folding soft top and seating for four.

Here are some of the first spy shots available of the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet, and they are pretty revealing as the car is virtually undisguised.
Spied in silver and wearing a soft-top folding roof, we can see that the cabriolet variant is looking to keep much the same roof line as the Beetle Coupe.
If you look closely at that soft-top roof you will also see that it is divided into several sections which means a folding canvass with a smaller profile when retracted that can either hang off the back of the car or be hidden completely.
The 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet is expected to debut in late 2012
