2014 VW Beetle GSR
2016 VW Beetle R-Line

The final generation of the modern VW Beetle debuted in mid-2011 as a 2012 model year. It was the successor of the 2000’s New Beetle.

The Beetle R-Line and GSR has equipped with a 2.0 Turbo TSI engine, with a 6-speed Manual. They produce 210HP. Although, sounds like a starter’s car with all that HP as it is known to help you start your racing journey. The Beetle itself is quite an ordinary car, with its competitors such as Fiat 500 where its performance version is from Abarth, and Mini Cooper which had the JCW package.

I assume that this generation of VW Beetle only represented in Forza as a RALLYCROSS SUPERCAR driven by none other than Tanner Foust. I hope Forza devs will bring the production Beetle A5 to the games because WE WANT A MODERN VOCHO. The old Beetle had its historic story in FH5, y’know.

The modern Beetle is an absolute yes. There’s no chance that it’s not.

2019 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo S Hatchback (for FH5)

Specs:

  • 2019 was the last year of production for VW’s most popular car, nicknamed “The Bug” by many fans
  • As the name says, it has a 174-horsepower 2.0L turbocharged inline 4 cylinder engine, which sends power to the front wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission
  • Sources say it can go from 0-60 in 7.2-7.5 seconds with an estimated electronically limited top speed of 140 mph, but without the electronic limit it drops down to 126 mph, and in the Final Edition SE and SEL trims it has a top speed of approximately 132 mph

Engine swap option suggestions:

  1. 1.6L I4 - Turbo Rally
  2. 2.0L I4 - VVT (Civic Type R ‘04)
  3. 3.2L I6 (E36 M3)
  4. 2.8L V6 (Corrado VR6)
  5. Racing V6 (Toyota Baja Truck)
  6. 6.2L V8 (LS3)
  7. 2.6L 4 - Rotor Racing (787B)

It’s weird how GT7 also doesn’t have this car, aside from the fictional Gr.3 race car.
