At the 2005 North American International Auto Show, the Volkswagen New Beetle Ragster concept car was introduced.
It was supposed to be a preview of the future design of the New Beetle.
The base of the Ragster (the name denoting a cross between a "ragtop" and a speedster) was a New Beetle Convertible modified with a new roof, giving it a much lower roofline, and a unique paint job with silver double stripes.
The interior differs from the original New Beetle, being a 2+2, and having distinctive control dials.
The Ragster's rear-view mirror is mounted on its dashboard, a retro feature, reminiscent of the first Type 1s.
