Just days after giving us the teaser commercial for the 2012 Beetle, appropriately named Black Beetle. VW released the the full commercial to the world today days before its scheduled appearance in the Super Bowl on Sunday. Enjoy.
As an added bonus, here is VW's other spot for the Super Bowl featuring a tiny Darth Vader and the all new 2012 Passat.
Volkswagen teased us today with commercial for us to watch this coming Sunday, Feb 6th during the Super Bowl. Judging from the rally striped 6 legged kind of beetle briefly shown, we're going to get some sort of glimpse of the all new 2012 Beetle. Look for "Black Beetle" this Sunday.
According to VWs media release, "In “Black Beetle,” the first spot for The 21st Century Beetle, cutting-edge CGI creative goes etymological, creating a photo-real lush kingdom where the Black Beetle rules, runs, navigates and out performs all the other creatures. The ad is an homage to some of the greatest car chase scenes in the history of film and TV. With the fast-paced and explosive song “Black Betty,” rerecorded by Jon Spencer and the Blues Explosion, the Beetle ad revs to life even though it does not feature any actual images of the car, a bold move for any automotive brand. The iconic shape of the Beetle and its performance attributes are prominently showcased in the spot, further building anticipation of the reveal."
Remember when we published the story about the 2012 VW Beetle reveal on Oprah not too long ago. Here's a clip of the show courtesy of Volkswagen showing the reveal and everybody loosing their minds in a good way. We can't wait to see more of the next Beetle in coming months.
VW has been pretty tight lipped about the fate of the VW Beetle come 2010 when the New Beetle is due for a major overhaul. We do know that the powers that be in Wolfsburg have said there will be a replacement car to carry on the legacy and name of the Beetle. These pictures come to us from German rag AutoZeitung.
There's not much supporting info, but judging bye these artist renderings, it looks very similar in size to the up! concept car. There are hints of a rear engine when you look at the air inlets on the front of the rear fenders. And you can't deny the Beetle looks in the styling. Especially when compared to the current New Beetle.
