It combines the early styling of the VW Bug with the more advanced engineering of the later models.

On US, UK, and Ireland models, the generator output was increased from180 to 360 watts, and the entire electrical system was upgraded from 6 to 12volts. The clutch disc also increased in size and changes were made to the flywheel. New equipment included a driver"s armrest on the door and locking buttons on both doors. Safety improvements included two-speed windscreen wipers, reversing lights (in some markets), and a driver"s side mirror. In accord with the newly enacted US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108,North American models received a dual-circuit brake system, the clear glass headlamp covers were deleted; the headlamps were brought forward to the leading edge of the front fenders, and the sealed-beam units were exposed and surrounded by chrome bezels. For 1967 North American market Beetles the engine lid was shortened and reshaped to accommodate the optional1500 engine.
