It gives a whole new meaning to the term "Super Beetle." 💙 T.E.N.

Scared the beard off the passenger haha

Very cool, a d I’m sure you surprised the hell out of every one of those cars

2:49 the best footage of my ute from the weekend hahaha Hard to get footage of a stock maloo lol

[@gregsolano2238]

Bad Ass Ride! I'd love to have 200-250hp in my 63 VW Double Cab

[@emailyclake1706]

Have you got any more pictures of that awesome bug.

[@Green_Gundel]

Herrlich!😉

[@jackhepo1980]

Yeah be careful rotarys are fast asf mate we have quite a few here in New Zealand

[@WAADAYATALKINABEET]

not when they are in the wrong gear lol

[@aneesackbarali5149]

Great vid guys but the rotary , whew

[@WAADAYATALKINABEET]

thats my fc haha

This is why you NEVER fuck with a VW ......

[@deusvultelect3389]

More content pls ☺️☺️☺️

[@kyleott1082]

Why are they running what looks like a spare tire on the back? Is it a skinny and are they front wheel drive or is it a safety option to keep you from getting crazy?

[@chevplane]

The skinny tyres skid easier

[@markoprizmic2666]

Little Herbie has a rexy transplant Very exciting

[@chevplane]

Not this one. Aircooled VW Power!!

[@markoprizmic2666]

Really ? I would love to see the set up And do more vids on the car and telling show the people your ride.

What’s the engine?

[@chevplane]

VW Kombi Engine built by WPVW. Turbocharged and injected

@@chevplane cheers mate. In the midst of getting a project myself still looking for some inspiration

[@vutEwa]

eh, they not allowed to go that fast, and this bug lost against a rotary flat out for sure

@@emailyclake1706 Quite a few reasons actually: - As my dad is the Australian master of aircooled VW's, the thought of an engine conversion never crossed my mind when he and his team have aircooled Beetles producing over 500rwhp, running 9 second 1/4 mile passes and breaking track records at the majority of events they attend. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKGknouBh52rgM0 kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6ennoWbo6d5rac kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4O9mGOchL-an7M - Being a VW, I found it more exciting to increase the power output of an original by over 400% reliably while still being able to drive the car daily. - By staying aircooled, the car remains light. The addition of watercooling, pumps, radiatiors, fans etc.. would've added to the complexity and weight of the car, so now more power is required to achieve the same acceleration as an aircooled VW. For example the car was able to achieve a 1/4 mile time of 11.1 @123mph with just 256hp. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKXCmnSNibmsatk - By researching where the point of failures are when pushing aircooled engines to the limit, we are able to build better and more reliable engines. - By learning how to tune a turbocharged aircooled VW engine from scratch, I now know how to tune EFI reliably. EFI tuning of watercooled engines is now a breeze as there are less variables to account for compared to air cooled tuning. Maybe one day I'll drop in 600+hp worth of Tesla motors, but for now it's far more exciting to see what can be extracted from the original engine!

I like the GT Ford... now that's a real man's car, idiots drive rotaries because they can't handle a real car. 😂😂😂😂

[@chevplane]

FYI the rotary was quicker
