Volkswagen of Germany has released the first photos of the Beetle Convertible R-Line model. Volkswagen's R-Line models usually feature different cosmetic treatments of the front and rear bumpers, R-Line logos in the interior and in some cases performance modifications in the form of sport suspension and more aggressive wheel and tire packages.

Here in the U.S. the only R-Line model we get so far is the CC R-Line. Volkswagen of America is expected to roll out more R-Line models some time next year. We wouldn't be surprised if the Beetle and Beetle Convertible are included in that group plus a few other surprises. We'll keep you up to date on what develops.
