We spotted this personalized Illinois vanity plate HILD 9 on a somewhat rare convertible Turbo new Beetle. “Hild” could potentially be a shortened form or a nickname for certain German names, such as “Hilde,” “Hilda,” or “Mathilda.” In this case, the meaning of the name would be associated with the longer version or the original name it represents.

The “New Beetle” was a popular compact car model produced by Volkswagen from 1997 to 2011. During its production years, Volkswagen offered turbocharged versions of the New Beetle. However, the exact number of New Beetles that were turbocharged can vary depending on the specific model years and market regions.

In general, the turbocharged variant of the New Beetle was known as the “New Beetle Turbo” or “New Beetle Turbo S” in some cases. These turbocharged models featured a more powerful engine and sportier performance compared to the standard non-turbo versions.

To determine the exact number of turbocharged New Beetles produced, it would be necessary to consult specific production records and sales data from Volkswagen for each model year.
