Agreed.....I had a 58 back in 1986 and I put the "big bore" kit in it bumping it to a WHOPPING 40HP!! That car would take me anywhere I wanted to go....it'd just never bring me back. A friend in highschool was all about VW's and he had a bug with a PORSCHE engine bolted to a bus tranny. If everything was just right he could pull the front wheels off the ground. (NOT a wheelie....but about 4-6 inches is all.) Combine all that with the NEW Judas Priest album......🤘🤘
@@makeityourself1 haha my bud had a Meyers manx ,single carb engine and huge wide rear tires. From a redline clutch dump it would pop the fronts up a couple inches in the right circumstances.

Not sure that rear wings creating much downforce sat that far below the airstream, but really nice to see a well driven and well set up oval Beetle out there.
@@herbienbrian2 On a Beetle the air flow detatches from the body at the top of the rear window, (search for images of Beetles being wind tunnel tested) meaning below that any aerodynamic devices become very inefficient (ask yourself why the funcup race cars have their wings mounted so high) The cooling grilles on a Beetle require high pressure (meaning slow air) which should tell you the air down there isn't much use for creating downforce.
250 horsepower doesn't sound like much on paper, but factor in the power to weight ratio of that kind power in one of the original vw beetles, and you’ll probably talking Dodge Challenger Scat Pack(392 Hemi), maybe even ZL1 Camaro territory.
But it drives like a front mounted engine car. So it's detuned. If anything, this car should be balanced not front heavy. In reality, this is a rear engine car and should be tuned for that.
Wrong. It's actually too powerful at steering. The rear end is either loose or following the very powerful front end. The front is so powerful it quickly gets out of control.
That was quite impressive.. However l know little of what engine is used, but presume it's has a turbo... But goes well and hearing it change gear... sequential gearbox...🤔🤔
For those that do not know stock bug is like 1200lbs this one probably 1100 or so with 250 that is 750hp in average car today as they are 3000lbs plus. Not to mention lighter. handles stops and accelerates faster and better even with equal hp to lb ratio. This is like 4 wheel motorcycle.
Hi rat 22, ....never seen a 4 wheel motorcycle ?????? continue with Your calculations ..... a horse weights about 1200 lbs with one horsepower how many horses You need for six - wheel - ship with 2600 tons ? ..............oh dear .........
Probably 2.something liter with Porsche fanshroud....all the necessary goodies inside....I am intrigued by the box though, probably something that came from Suttgart too...

Paukenschläger. Möglich, daß ihr den Motor vom Porsche eingebaut habt. Was ist dabei herausgekommen? Eine unfahrbare Runkelkiste. Zu deiner Zeit, gab es keine korrekte Vorderachse für diese Leistung. Über die primitive Hinterachse, der damaligen Käfer, müssen wir nicht diskutieren. Und eine Tieferlegung an der Hinterachse hätte auch nicht für STABILITÄT gesorgt. Denk mal richtig nach : Selbst das serienmäßige Fahrwerk im Turbo Porsche war damals mit der Leistung überfordert.
Gescheite Hinterachse gab es schon, immerhin mit Schräglenker, wie sie später auch im 944er allerdings in Alu war. Es gab allerdings keine gescheiten Bremsen, denn die kamen erst später. Ich frag mich eher, wo denn der Motor Platz gefunden haben soll. Ein 6 Zylinder steht hinten raus, der Ladeluftkühler hat keinen Platz usw. Ich habe noch nie von einem Käfer gehört, der einen 930er Motor verbaut hatte. Wenn, dann muss das ein krasser Umbau gewesen sein.
Sounds not like old beetle air-colded flat-4 boxer engine, sounds like old golf mk-2 1.8L line-4 water / liqueur -colded with small turbo charge 250HP engine !
The car is a rear engine, she,s likely almost throttle driven, I don,t claim to know how to get positive steer with so much power. Best regards don,t try to take the fun out of it.

Not true at all...N/A react and spin a lot faster then turbo ones and torque can be problem with traction. That is reason why older F1 cars are soo fast.
Sehr feines Fzg. Und erst der Sound 💪.Trotz der hohen Geschwindigkeit in den Kurven, klebt er an der Straße. 😊😊 Perfektes Fahrwerk .👏💪 🏆
Sorry guys, but that's the best looking car ripping around the track ive seen in a long time.
Classic bug, does look menacing
se ve very good. ..
wow, klasse Fahrzeug! Das nenn ich mal flüssig und geschmeidig gefahren.
Das hätte sich Ferdinand Porsche bestimmt nicht träumen lassen, dass sein KdF-Wagen mal so abgehen würde.
I would hope he might like it.
Das erinnert mich wunderbar an alte Käfer CupZeiten und meine Startnummer 403...
Phantastischer Käfer, top Fahrer. Chapeau.
Herbert gibt Gas!!!guter Fahrer+ Fahrzeug
Freude durch Kraft !!!
I know it’s a light car, but you would never think it’s “only” 250 hp. Looks and sounds like a lot more. Maybe that’s because my bug only has 34 hp 😊
Yeah yours only has(about) 8x less power 😄

Best vehicle on RUclips.

Yes need bo on roof.
No that's where the air ends up on a beetle it's working, why do you think that's where the grills are to cool the engine?

i like to see some laptime comparising
Does anyone know what kind of suspension this car have? Or what shops are competent to develop a project like this?
Geil!!!
Aircooled engine?
this has to be the most insane beetle ever! This thing has an air cooled VW engine?
But it drives like a front mounted engine car.
So it's detuned.
If anything, this car should be balanced not front heavy.
In reality, this is a rear engine car and should be tuned for that.
@@Gma7788 I can’t even tell what your point is because half of what you said contradicts the other half
Nice

Stock tuned or new engine?
Hammer
What engine please? Is it supercharged?
Den Motor hätte ich gern für meinen Trike🥳
what a lovely sound. What specs about engine and gearbox ? Sounds like dual clutch gearbox ?
It has a pleasant sound.
But it sounds like a slow build up the revs engine.
...hat der Extasy im Tank? 😉👍🌻
I need one of those 😅
It must be a hoot to drive, she sure corners well!
Wrong.
It's actually too powerful at steering.
The rear end is either loose or following the very powerful front end.
The front is so powerful it quickly gets out of control.
Poetry in motion
Whats the engine please?
I Love, beetles!!!

Now there’s a bug that didn’t get squashed !
Es motor VW?
Gar nicht schlecht für nen Käfer.

What engine is this running?
Sounds like a four cylinder one.
Click, nice 😉
My first car was a 67 bug
what year is it? 50s or like 61? i guess ing 58? hm
No later than 57

Are you on medication ?

yummy
