It’s a fact, we all love/need our smartphones. No longer just for phone calls, they’re an integral part of a connected lifestyle. And while most new cars have either iPhone or Bluetooth connectivity, what we really want is a 500 horsepower docking station on wheels. Making its debut at the Shanghai Auto Show is the 2014 VW iBeetle, the first of its kind to be outfitted with an iPhone docking station. In addition to standard features such as hands-free communication and navigation, the iBeetle comes with a Beetle app to monitor engine function, G-forces, and even Spotify streaming music. And seeing as the iPhone is damn sexy, the iBeetle has been styled to complement its good looks. It may not have 500 horsepower, but until the iPorsche comes out, the iBeetle will do nicely.
