While it's wearing standard "R-Line" trim, it's rumored to have bodywork closer to the Beetle R concept shown in 2012. If you open the 'Large' photos at the link, some other observations:
- You can see the seats are definitely upgraded; they have hardshell backs
- Them's some big 'ole brakes on the car!
