AUBURN HILLS, Mich. ??” Volkswagen has turned back to its color-and-trim archives for the latest special model in the New Beetle lineup. The 2007 Triple White New Beetle convertible, which hits showrooms this week, draws its inspiration from the original Super Beetle convertible from the late 1970s.

The special model is priced at $26,630, including a $640 destination charge. It features a unique Campanella white exterior, a white interior and white convertible roof boot. Other design cues include 17-inch Oktopus alloy wheels, a three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel, and white leatherette seats and center armrest. The automaker adds definition to the stark palette with black carpeting, floor mats and door panels. The front-seat headrests are emblazoned with the New Beetle convertible icon.

The German automaker says it will only build 3,000 units of this special model.
