Wolfsburg Bites Back: The New VW Special Editions
Volkswagen has had great success with special edition vehicles in the past. The Wolfsburg limited edition Cabriolets and Trek mountain bike Jettas are both memorable examples that gained a strong following for the brand. Now, VW is looking to return to some of that limited edition glory with four new offerings.
The Wolfsburg Edition Jetta is basically a 2.5 L Jetta with an assortment of popular options — like 16-inch alloy wheels, a sunroof and a cold-weather package — at a price almost $2,000 less than a similarly equipped Jetta. Prices for the Wolfsburg are $19,360 for the manual and $20,435 for the automatic. The limited edition part comes in with unique badging and only five color choices.
VW will introduce a new limited nameplate, Fahrenheit, for both the GTI hatchback and the GLI sedan. There will only be 1,200 of each made and they’ll come in unique, one-off colors — Fahrenheit orange for the GTI and Fahrenheit yellow for the GLI — and will feature 18-inch wheels, heated leather seats and a sunroof. Pricing for the DSG transmission GTI is $27,665, and the GLI is priced at $27,880 for the manual and $28,955 for the automatic.
Rounding out the foursome is a Triple White New Beetle that sports — you guessed it — a white paint job, white convertible roof and white interior. Only 3,000 will be made, and they’ll come with 17-inch alloy wheels and leatherette seats. It’s only available with an automatic transmission and is priced at $25,990.
