Back in 1973, VW launched the Beetle GSR for the European market. Dubbed the ‘Yellow-Black Racer’, it was based on the Beetle 1303 S.  ‘GSR’ stands for ‘Gelb-Schwarze Renner’ in German, which means ‘Gold-Black Racer’.  Only 3,500 of the original 1973 model were produced as well.Now, for the first time, UK Volkswagen Beetle fans can order a new GSR model with a 210PS petrol turbo engine so it has ‘go’ to match the ‘show’. Only 100 are destined for the UK.
