Best Answer

Some easy ways to identify a superbeetle are as follows:

1. windshield. If the windshield is curved, the car is *definitely* a superbeetle. However early superbeetles had a flat windshield, ss a flat windshield is no guarantee of it being a standard beetle.

2. Spare tire. If the spare tire stands up in the trunk, it is a standard beetle, if it lays flat it is a superbeetle.

3.front suspension. Squat down next to a front tire and look at the gap between the top of the tire and the fender. If you can see a big coiled spring there, it is a superbeetle. The definitive way is to look at the first two digits of the serial number, which is in three places: lower left corner of the windshield, stamped on the tunnel under the back seat, and on a plate next to the latch plate for the engine cover. 11 = standard beetle 13 = Super Beetle
