For 2007, Volkswagen will offer a lineup of special edition models, including the Wolfsburg Edition Jetta, Fahrenheit GTI, Fahrenheit GLI and Triple White New Beetle convertible.
The Wolfsburg Edition Jetta is a 2.5 L Jetta with a “Wolfsburg” badge, leveraging the brand’s German heritage. Special features include 16-inch alloy wheels, a sunroof, leatherette seats, cold weather package and monster floor mats. With manual transmission, this special edition is $19,360; automatic transmission is $20,435, representing a $2,000 value when compared to a similar equipped Jetta. The Wolfsburg Edition Jetta is available in the following color schemes: silver with anthracite trim; white with beige trim; black with beige trim; black with anthracite trim; and platinum gray with art gray trim.
The Fahrenheit GTI introduces a unique exterior color – Fahrenheit orange – to the sporty hatchback. Each of these 1,200 models will come with a Fahrenheit badge and its unique limited edition number on a three-spoke perforated leather steering wheel, adding to the car’s individuality. This special edition offers European sport tuned suspension; 18-inch “Charleston” alloy wheels; “Fahrenheit” badging; heated leather sports seats; a sunroof; orange interior trim; orange stitching on the floor mats, DSG boot, brake handle and steering wheel; and optional Sirius Satellite Radio. This special edition model is $27,665.
Similar to the Fahrenheit GTI, Fahrenheit GLI introduces a splashy color to the GLI lineup. The GLI special edition offers the same additions to the powerful model as the Fahrenheit GTI, but with an exclusive Fahrenheit yellow exterior and yellow trim and stitching in the interior. The manual transmission model is priced at $27,880 and the automatic at $28,955. The Fahrenheit GLI will also only be available in 1,200 special edition models.
The Triple White New Beetle convertible offers a new color combination that has strong ties to the legendary original Beetle. With Campanella white exterior, white interior and a white convertible roof boot, the Triple White is available with automatic transmission for $25,990. Each of these 3,000 special editions also offers 17-inch alloy wheels, a three-spoke leather wrapped steering wheel, white leatherette seats, white leatherette center armrest, black carpeting, floor mats and door panels, and SIRIUS Satellite Radio.

Supercool! Love the colors, and they’re really quite Lambo-ish…The first Porsches were based on the VW type 1, so when’s the next Porsche based on The Beetle coming?
Uh…Maybe a bad idea…

Is releasing a “special edition” a way to increase sales on a slow seller, or is VW trying to increase their cachet?

whoopie. Bright ass yellow and orange should be standard options on the color palette of all sporty cars. F— the grey/silver, navy blue, beige crap that most people seem to love.

A4!, there is a 2007 White GLI!
Meanpants555!, VW does 3-4 special editions every model year. It appears that with 600 VW dealers every dealer will get approx. 2 Orange GTIs, 2 Yellow GLIs, and 5 Triple White Beetle Convertibles.

Bought the Fahrenheit GTI today, and it definitely doesn’t disappoint! It DOES have a sunroof fortunately, not sure what’s up with the one in the picture in this article… I was skeptical as I already have an R32, so with FWD only, DSG, and -40hp I never even planned to look at any of the GTI models. But all it took was a test drive and I was convinced! The suspension and steering are TIGHT and the car feels rock solid. Just needs some better tires to help the cornering which is a little soft out of the gate. But, that was true on the R as well, so no big surprise. And I have to say, kudos to VAG for the DSG transmission. I know the numbers say it’s faster than a 6 speed, and after about an hour in the car I’m starting to really understand it. Hit the gas full throttle at a stoplight while making a turn onto the cross street with a paddle on your fingertips to upshift, and feel the benefits first hand. Not to mention that by the time you hit 3rd gear and up, the shifts really are completely seamless with zero power interruption. And the car FEELS much faster than its actual numbers state, so kudos to VW for making a car again that fits enthusiastic driving. I know the R is faster, but the Fahrenheit feels just as fun.
Last, the Lamborghini based orange looks great on this car in person. Not many body styles could pull off a color like that, but this one does it well.
Anyone with half an interest in this car should rush out to their local dealer to see it first hand!
