Heidi Klum knows a good car when she sees one and it seems her heart belongs to Volkswagen.
 
As an ambassador for Volkswagen, Heidi combined work with pleasure while celebrating the Volkswagen edition of this cute pink New Beetle convertible.
 
This baby was custom-made by Volkswagen as a homage to none other than Barbie and comes complete with such female-friendly additions as vanity mirrors in the back, a rearview mirror (complete with rhinestones), a Barbie silhouette embroidered into the leather seats and a unique pink hue especially created for the Barbie-Bug.
 
Both Heidi and Seal's collaboration with Volkswagen goes back some time, and seems genuine, with Heidi fondly remembering her parents owning a VW Bus as a little girl.

"Some years later, we went on holiday in a Beetle convertible," she reminisced. "We still have it today. It has a really unique colour -amber gold."
 
As for Seal, he has been part of the Volkswagen family since 2005. "Our relationship has turned into a real friendship," a spokesperson for VW revealed.

"Seal truly has petrol in his blood. He is extremely savvy when it comes to knowing the ins and out of our automobiles."
 
"Klum and Seal are a modern patchwork family. They are natural and unpretentious personalities, tolerant and globally orientated - and thus represent values which can be attributed to Volkswagen, too," explains head of Group Communication at Volkswagen Stephan Grühsem.
 
Another VW model the power couple have been busy flogging is the Tiguan. Check out this cute commercial where Heidi is interviewed by a Beetle. What a Love Bug!
