VW CEO Martin Winter Wheat has confirmed that a new Volkswagen New 2012 is under development and will likely be produced again in Mexico, although he has not ruled out the possibility that it is built elsewhere.
More than one million possible code Beetles have been built at the Puebla factory in Mexico and the developers expected to build next generation models which are expected to arrive sometime in 2011 and 2012 model years.
The German automaker is also planning the 2012 VW Beetle with a hybrid powertrain, which consists of a 150 hp 1.4 liter turbo engine and 27 hp electric motor.
