ALL Super Beetles have a McPherson Strut front suspension (the shock is inside the coil) and the spare tire lies flat. The main out side dimensions are the Supers are slightly longer from the windshield forward for the newer USA DOT regulations at the time.

The windshield on the super beetle (and all super beetles) is rounded and makes a little dash board. The regular beetles windshield is flat and has no dash.

What is the difference between a normal VW beetle and a VW Super beetle?
Some early 71' & 72' VW Super Beetles had flat windshields, later bugs had curved. Major changes were MacPherson struts and changes to the front skirt. The struts ride smoother but can be a pain to replace without proper gear. Unless you know what you're doing it is better left to a pro.
What is the Difference between 73 beetle and 73 super beetle?
The Super Beetles started in '71 or '72 and and the main differences are they are a little bit longer and they went to a Strut front suspension. They also went to a curved windshield in '74 or '75. I'm not sure when the standards did. But in "general", everything behind the windshield is the same as a standard, so I'm told. But every year VW made slight changes to them both so some things will fit others and some things won't. The curved windshield on a super beetle started in '73 and had a larger plastic dashboard. Another way you can tell a beetle from a super beetle is the standard beetle's spare tire sits uprite in the front of trunk while the super lays flat on bottom of trunk.

What is the difference between a 72 vw beetle and a super beetle?
The Super Beetle has McPherson struts in the front and and the Standard Beetle has a torsion-bar front suspension - the latter is recognizable by the two transverse tubes comprising the front "beam" assembly. The Super has a larger trunk with the spare tire laying flat in the bottom while the Standard's spare stands nearly upright at the front. Most Supers also have slots in the front body apron, but that's not a reliable indicator because non-louvered Supers do exist. The Super's wheelbase is 0.8" longer, and its front fenders and trunk lid are not interchangeable with the Standard's. Otherwise the two cars are essentially identical from the windshield back, although in most years (`72 included) the Super has a few more "luxury" features such as a fresh air ventilation fan. Engines and transmissions are identical, year for year, but the Super is a couple hundred pounds heavier so it doesn't accelerate quite as well.
