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 (a ragster is the cross between a ragtop and a speedster) was a regular New Beetle Convertible. They made some changes, such as shortening the A-pillar, penning a new U-shaped roof, and created a unique paint job with silver double stripes. The interior is different compared to the original New Beetle, such as its 2+2 seater and distinctive control dials. Another item of interest is that the Ragster's rear-view mirror is mounted on its dashboard. The Ragster's profile is lower than that of the prior New Beetle.
