A ragtop version of the Volkswagen Beetle will debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show in late November, soon before the car goes on sale.

The launch of the 2013 Beetle convertible will follow the arrival of the redesigned Beetle coupe by about a year.

Safety equipment includes rollover bars concealed behind the back bench seat. If the car's safety system senses a crash, the rollover bars are deployed.
