It's just a render, but yes I think it is based on a 500.

I don't see how far it can deviate from its basic design. If it does, it ceases to be a beetle. Well, elongate it in certain direction and it will probably look somewhat like a Porsche. If I remember correctly, the original beetle and Porsche were designed by the same group, thus having the resemblance.

Ferdinand Porsche actually designed the beetle to meet certain criteria under the commision of Adolf Hitler.

Read the post directly above. I was simply expanding on otakki's statement, I like interesting facts. And he is right changing the look too much takes away from the basic appeal of this auto, the basic appeal being it's history.
