I wonder if the turbo hatch with the power spoiler , would fit other Beetles. If so, it would be a nice, all though expensive upgrade, $500 + ?
VW reports the Beetle Turbo's hatch spoiler to save 1 mpg and increase the high speed stability dramatically.
It can not be used in conjunction with a rear spoiler as it directs the air flow up and a away from the hatch area where its rear spoilers are typically placed.
