Bipasha Basu Buys Herself A Volkswagen Beetle
Bipasha 's new Beetle is in fact the New Beetle, Volkswagen's first attempt to revive the bug that made Volkswagen a house hold name across the globe. Bipasha's Beetle is finished in red and appears to have a dark interior. The Beetle has been named as Brad by the Bollywood star. The male name indicates the single status of Bipasha.
Incidentally Bipasha's former boy friend John Abraham has bought himself an Audi Q7 premium SUV.
The New Beetle is a car that has been predominantly preferred by women across the globe. Volkswagen has said more than 60 per cent of the Beetle's buyers have been women. The soft curves on the exterior and the pleasant interior layout make the Beetle the perfect woman's car.
But this does not mean the Beetle has no power. In fact it is powered by a 2.0-litre four cylinder engine that generates 116PS and 172 Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a six speed manual gear box.
