With more than 2,000 visitors, Beetle Sunshine Tour kicks off on 17 August. The tour is the largest private meeting of lovers of all three generations of Beetle.

The “most beautiful beach Beetle” will also be chosen from among the hundreds of round Volkswagen vehicles hailing from six decades, which are expected to come to the event from across Europe. One of the specialities of the Sunshine Tour is that not only do visitors put on fancy costumes, but the cars do as well. Whether glamour Beetle, rock ‘n’ roll Beetle, wedding Beetle, beach Beetle, 007 Beetle or Charleston Beetle – anything goes – with the title being awarded to the best idea and best execution.

On a second stage, three special Beetles are making their grand debut together: the new iBeetle, which has its European premiere at the event, will be presented alongside the Beetle Cabrio Exclusive from Volkswagen R GmbH, and the Beetle GSR, one of just 3,500 of this striking limited edition.

The Beetle Sunshine Tour starts from the Volkswagen Centre in Lübeck (beginning on 17 August at noon, 12:00) and heads to Brügmanngarten in Travemünde, where the programme kicks off at 14:00.
