One VW Beetle RSI Out Of 250 Produced Was Up For Sale

An automobile has been placed up for sale in the United Kingdom, which appears to be ordinary at first sight but has a hefty price tag. According to seller's details about the car, we can see that it is a rare specimen with only 250 units built.

Between 2001 and 2003, Volkswagen Beetle RSI was the quickest variant of the vehicle. RSI comes with a more powerful engine, sports suspension, stronger brakes, and a different exhaust system. The cosmetic modifications that make it unique from any other Beetle include the body package, 18-inch OZ Superturismo wheels, and double spoiler.

Under the bonnet we find the VR6 engine producing 224-hp and 320 Nm of torque. The automobile also has a 4Motion all-wheel drive and a six-speed manual transmission. The Beetle's peak speed is 255 km/h, with 100 km/h in 6.7 seconds.

The inside has Recaro seats with vividly colored leather upholstery and some carbon fiber components, indicating this is not your typical Beetle. For this instance, the cost is $62,335. To justify the price, we should mention the seller is the sole owner, and only 28,163 km are shown on the dashboard.

From the pictures, we can see how well this Volkswagen has been maintained, as you wouldn't even know it was nearly two decades old. The owner, who also owns a Golf R32 and a Mini Cooper, believes the value of this Beetle RSI will increase significantly in the future, even though it is currently priced lower than its original $80,000 price tag in the early 2000s.
