Volkswagen 1303 S - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Super Beetles handle awesome. I have had my 71 since 1989. These drivers are really good.
I’ve never seen bugs so agile, and sound so good!
Mean either
One of the reasons they sound so good is that they took the exhaust tips of off to get rid of that distinctive chirping noise and probably some engine modifications
My beetle is every bit that agile but it doesn't sound that good.
@@jaredbrown3249 Mean either?
Not really vw any more, only a Subaru sounds like that
That was very exciting and endearing, all at the same time.
The Little Beetle That Could... Lest we forget that 5 Volkswagen Beetle 1200's were entered into the 1954 Carrera Panamericana race of over 3000 kilometers and ALL 5 finished the race.
Love the sound of these bugs, especially the red one! It sounds so angry!
Rear wheel drive, engine in the back between the wheels - sounds like a natural rally car to me.
I've had 2 and the steering is a nightmare. I have no idea how they get around this.
No. This is not mid engine car. It's rear engine (all the way back)
@@lilkjay.4808 who said it was mid engined?
@@devlintaylor9520 *engine in the back between the wheels* which means between the axles. Which means mid engine.😌🙂
@@lilkjay.4808 no mid engine is just infront of the rear axles, ontop of the rear axles means rear engined
Good old Beetles, still young at heart! Great stuff.
The car of my young years ! Very efficient in all terrain
that is nuts, those things understeer and then out of nowhere hit you in the face with massive oversteer... Huge respect to these guys... BIG BALLS!
It’s called rally driving. Front engine cars understeer. Rear engine lift throttle oversteer infinitely more controllable.
Yep, just launched mine into a bean field jumping railroad tracks yesterday,oops,took most of today to get all the beans out
Do you *really* think they are using stock suspension up front???
@@mikescudder4621 not much you can do with strut front ends, no aftermarket support for them. these are all strut cars, can tell by the front deck lid and the rolled front pan with the cooling vents.
@@GMCOGRE Mate, the beetle is literally the vehicle with the most aftermarket options globally. Yes, the super beetle with struts is already a massive improvement over old front torsion bar. An adjustable shock can completely change the way it handles not to mention springs, ride height, tyres, sway bar... plenty to play with ;-)
I love these VW's, the success they've made will be remembered for the whole world.
The spirit of Herbie lives
👍👍👍👍👍
I miss my VW race cars. Well, I still have the last two. Haven't seen the light of day since 1987. They were for oval track racing in Michigan, USA. Also ran some special events in Canada, and Ohio. The older car was built from a '72 Karman Ghia, the last was built from the ground up, a full tube chassis. Mix of Mustang II, and hand - made front suspension, rack and pinion steering, 4wheel disc brakes, coil overs all around, 1835 CCs, twin Weber 44 IDF carbs, heads ported so big it needed custom modified intakes, open Stinger exhaust, only 1688 pounds, the minimum weight required for that engine size. With the weight in the back, set up was a little challenge, but it took off like a rocket with no wheel spin, 10" wide by 13" tires and wheels. That last one was awesome until bad gas wrecked the engine. I want to get a couple of stock engines, just so they move again for antique race car shows.
Yes yes! Please keep 'em rolling, maybe with a sports exhaust. 😎😎😎😎😎
An old friend had one sound similar to your tube chassis race car. he had set up with mid engine and body looked like a fiero, called it a Viero. Built it all himself.
Back in my racing days, I built a 2400cc race motor (86mmx 101.6mm) scat case, carillo rods, superflo heads with offset valve guides, 48mm webers with the throats bored out to 52mm. With the 4 inch pistons there was no room inbetween the cylinders for air flow but worked anyway. Had to weld up the old head/cyl stud holes to remachine in the spread stud pattern. Those were the days!! Baylands Raceway San Jose CA.
@@tedvolz9674 do you mean Baylands or Fremont dragstrip? I went there in 1985-86 for last vw event and then it closed. Growing up in Union City I remember hearing the sounds of race cars off in the distance when I was kid in the 70s and early 80s.
@@tuneuptony3679 Yeah it was actually fremont, north of san jose. I raced the dirt track oval next to the dragstrip. I grew up in east san jose listening to the saturday night sprint car races at the mile track next to reid hillview airport where the Kinsers honed their skills. Got into racing vw's when I was a mech at Bugformance of SJ.
I love it. Reminds me of my 1300 Beetle. The piston had enlarged combustion chamber, 10° negative wheel adjustment in the rear axle and sport shock absorbers. The Beetle was incredibly stable in corners and in crosswinds, great straight-line stability and the speedometer went way beyond the scale. Perfectly precise to drive.
Don’t forget that is basically a Porsche…😎
??? Really? I'd describe driving a bug (standard road going Beetle not whatever these are) as tedious, noisy and definitely not quick. Still they look cool and have character that today's bland boxes can never match.
@@oktc68 Well yea i've driven both a stock top end beetle and a somewhat tampered one that did too much power for it's own good, so the first one was, just like you, a pretty lame drive with lots of torque (for the period) but a lazy revving engine, and the second one was like oop i hit the gas 5% more than i should during this corner, and now i'm facing the wrong way and the passenger door popped open in all the chaos and dumped my 6-pack of soda in the grass, which then slid down into a ditch.
Käfer, der trabant des westens. sieht lustg aus aber fahren will ich so einen lahmen schrott niemals!!
😊❤ bj essa ACC se de CD vai 5
*I live in Brazil and own a copy of this type of VW, I have a lot of affection for it and this vehicle has never let me down, even on roads like this as in the video.*
Que ano ?
I've had Bugs, and Super Beetles since the 90's. This is the 1st time I've ever seen true Rally Super Beetles! I always thought it was possible. Thanks for posting this! You've got my sub!
i'm surprised they are using supers, considering the strut front ends are weak compared to beam cars.
All up to 1600cc FIA Spec, weber dual carburator allowed. Running from 80hp to 125hp max.
You answered my question thanks. Yeah I just saw a custom bug with turbo WRX motor running 570 RWHP wow
Only 125hp? For me likes more
what are those exhaust system did they use? they sound awesome
..being 55 yrs old, i grew up seeing endless numbers of these cute lil Bugs!
..too bad i live in southern Wisc .. salt city in winter.
This is a fabulous video showing how ppl can tune a sedate grocery getter into a Rally car!
Beest beetles! 💝
Listening to these VWs reminds me of my '73 Standard Beetle with 1914 and dual Weber IDFs. That little guy would move right out and sounded great doing it!
Combine tech from 1930s. and the best boxer engine of all times an you get the definitive machine for all scenerys. the mighty Beetle
These are so difficult to handle - the skill set of these drivers are mesmerizing. Looks so simple and clean
Ya, instead of having a competition spec vehicle, more impressed with how they wrestle every inch of grip from these. And make it look graceful.
I've driven my Dad's Beetle, just like riding a bike.
The mini tank that can do anything regardless of being old, and outdated in technology, it can kick ass! Never underestimate a beetle!
There was a VW Bug engine specialist in my home town in the 70s and 80s. I heard a lot of Bugs with no exhaust to speak of, lol
I have 1982 beetle and this car makes me feel happy.
I had a 65 beetle in germany. I loved it!
Nicolas
They sold more of these then a model T for a reason, this car can me made into anything, drag car, rally car, rock crawler, low rider, millions of people have done millions of things with them and the beetle found a way, that's why it's special
In the late early 60s, early 70s I had a ‘68 Beetle, stock except for rear camber compensator and a micro bus clutch. Belonged to local SCCA chapter and ran the Beetle in auto crosses, ice trials, and one or to half-assed local rallies. Drifting was huge fun on snow and ice and dirt. Mine didn’t sound like these machines nor go near as fast, but it was ever such fun.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the first ever Porsche
You mean the only because the 911 is just a modernized Beetle.
@@GunsNGames1 I see you're a man of culture too sir
Not realy!
The Steyr 55 was one of the first (by farnot THE first) cars designed and constructed by Ferdinand Porsche. This was 20 years before the beatle!
@@GunsNGames1 modernized is a word that I found too kind to described the 911, "glorified" fit it better
The lil Porsche that could my friend.
stock they are already very good offroad, thin wheels actually dig into the mud and pull it, rear drive and a simple reliable engine that will not stop working even if half the pistons are not working, a beast of a car to the point people still want them today unlike other cars wich get obsolete and degrade due to lack of parts, you can maintain one yourself easy to learn and reliable, one of the first cars i drove and one of the best, also they are known to get through places where bigger cars like pickups get stuck and can`t pull out.
Those dual downdrafts just sounds SO INCREDIBLE!
Dear rally community! Is it more important to have rally cars with a million hp or a route set up for standard cars making for spectacular driving?
In my opinion it´s more entertaining to watch a standard car performing it utmost, than watching a supercar fly by in a fraction of a second.
Beautiful sound! I had a 1302 with 80 hp... was proud of it.
How did you got 80 HP?
I’ve never seen a VW run like those ! Wow the little bug can rock !
Probably the best car ever made. I had two.
Far from it but ok
Looks like so much fun!
I am crying with joy watching this!
Yes!! I have had my share of VW air cooled vehicles. I had been a VW tech and engine re builder for some time.
Fond memories, I built a "Baja Bug" that had a Typ III engine with fuel injection and giant L75 15" tires on the rear, changed the final gearing so high that you could use 2nd gear up to 50 mph. Fun times
Craig Behring good evening from Athens-Greece!The best engine ever had our VW 1303/1973,was the type H 81......(numbers)1500c.c never problem and during the travels in the years 1973-1979,was with speed 120-130km/h,and a consumption of fuel between 1/1-1/2(fuel indicator) for a distance well-nigh,210km.The max speed of this engine was 155-160km.But the engine after repair general all new pistons e.c.c,the engine failed after acceleration even when the weather was winter.The next engine was AS 1600c.cproblem with 3rd cylinder.Very good engine.27 years ago we brought a new completely new engine from Brazil again the same problem 3rd cylinder.The best solution is the Subaru engine.
@@pavloschatziergatis9464
Did you still have the oil cooler in the fan housing....or did you have a completely separate oil cooler mounted off-engine?
Hi. How do I make my 1641cc Bug sound like one of these?
@@paulwaters2842 Exhaust system is a big one, but we don’t exactly know how else these ones are equipped.
Amazingly spectacular
Who would have thought that Swedes are even more death daring than Finns?! 😅 (Guess what - Finnish VW rallying brought me here 😉)
Goes on to show that the 1303 really _was_ the climax of beetle evolution (combined with an excellent driver talent of course).
I'll HAVE to watch that in person one day!
The sound is epic :)
Love it!! Love it!! Truly this is a great video. Yes!!?? Sweden, Rally Racing in the SNOW! .
INTERESSANTE 🧐 Show👍 Já tive um Fusca branco 1.300l, ano 1981. 🇧🇷
Super wie ihr fehrt 👍👍👍👍
Fun stuff there. I love the sound of these things. Had many hot VWs in my youth.
Que fabuloso como suenan esos motores !!!
Saludos desde CHILE al mundo !
Saludos!
I had 2 Volkswagen Beetle/Käfer too. Great cars! Greetings from Linz-Austria🇦🇹🏔⛷🛶🍺🥨😸👍💙🇦🇹🐺Europe!
Looks like I was right about old-fashioned VW beetles like that. They really can race!
Cannot quite get my head around this....never heard Herbie rev so free, an aural treat from that high revving beetle flat4🔥🔥🔥
There all repowerd with Subaru engines
@@rob8761 idk sounds like air cooled vw to me
@@supercrazyhouse9754 I think there riving to high for an old push rod engine
@@rob8761 nooo sir it's definitely possible trust me
@@rob8761 listen to JPM (swedish) beetle. th-cam.com/video/uiEk_sE4Yzs/w-d-xo.html he builds aircooled beetles that rev past 9 grand.
Wow VW ripping the race track, what joy to see! The Bug King of all cars!👁🕵💥🤛✌
Love it, that sound is amazing! Prost 🍻
🥲
I like to think that my ‘73 Super sounds like that when I’m running through the gears. Probably not, but I like to think.
Probably sound like an old granny car, but its still my favorite one
Don't worry bro... your air cooled engine still sound mean even if its stock. Love it.
Just amazing! ^^
Super auti. Di moze "buba" niti jedno auto nemoze proc. Legemdarno auto. Pozdrav iz Splita. Srđan.🇭🇷🇭🇷👍🥰🥰👍
If you liked this video, I have plenty more on my channel! Like & Subscribe to help me out aswell as seeing my newest uploads. :)
These cars use a Volkswagen engine. This is not a Subaru engine as that would be a violation of the rules!
Thank you 😊, my favorite Rallys are the Swedish Rallys , especially the ones with lots of Snow ❄ 😀!
I love the VWs but also the 240 Volvos, am hooked !
You can notice with rear wheel drive the hand brake thing isn't as effective. Low power makes it less necessary as well.
Found your channel, had to subscribe. Thanks for some great content.
Subaru sound
So sick!!!
For a second I thought one of the Volkswagen bug race cars hit the trees but then it reappeared again that was intense ride on racers
This is what my 72 beetle wants to be when it grows up!
Old but gold
I've found myself wanting a souped up beetle in the last few weeks. A rally style car or a Baja style car. Either one would be great!
baja's are damn fun to ride. still need upped horsies though. even 2108 are a bit underpowered ( stock, wont say anything about upgraded ones ;) ) . mine has 2.5 N/A subbie powerplant (nothing fancy, but still better than 50 horsies right? ) and custom made cooling system. love that thing :) .
@@ApocGuy I am totally with you on the Subbie engine. Just the right amount of power to weight ration! I’m jealous.
@@mickylawless1941 tnx :) . i was thinking about more powerful engine, but would have to ditch whole transmission/engine system (basically transplant whole engine with transmission and made all custom brackets and engine mounts and cooling) and it was just too much hassle to tackle with. maybe I'll do it one day (still have M54 from E39 in garage ), but for now, 150bhp is enough for lightweight car as it's bug. :)
@@ApocGuy I've always been a more power kind of guy, but 150hp mated to such a light car probably feels really quick. I'm jealous.
Awesome!
WOW !
Das macht Spaß !!!
Simply awesome
I'd love to know some of the specs on those cars.
Old Beetles don’t die they just rallying.
Ever since I found this video I cannot help but come back to it it gets more exciting each time great job on the camera man for the racing shots amazing video especially now that my mom just passed away at 52 years old and tomorrow is her funeral we use to go to car shows all over south east Michigan and middle of Michigan every summer a shelf full of trophies and memories and adventures and stories currently I live with my dad and I'm trying to stage a come back to car shows and other events here in Michigan and hopefully I will start up a TH-cam channel of my own someday soon in my garage if I can get the equipment to do so and repairs on the garage here so I can all year round thank you for your time bye for now my mom's Jessie pincombe I'm joey pincombe aka bettle boy
Thank you
Thank you and keep up the great job on videos of vintage Volkswagen bugs racing
Driving in snow looks a lot of fun . Those of you lucky enough to street drive in snow season are living the dream . Leave the wife home and say I’m going to the supermarket dear, wow the perfect crime.
Looks fun on a rally course. Take a look of crashes on highways around youtube...
Driving fun? - most likely.
But you know he's freezing cold and his left foot is being toasted by the medieval heater vent and the navigator has an overworked ice scraper in his hand in the passenger seat keeping the windshield clear!
Gotta luv a Bug!
I like the body roll...these cars were built to race
Gracias buenísimo , suenan como motores de alta.
@@jameschong1235 It doesn't. This is the real sound: th-cam.com/video/X0cGCi_pWLA/w-d-xo.html
This is the funniest but also
Coolest thing I’ve seen. Then the sound and high revs. Lol. CoMpletely unnatural to hear and see this but oh soo cool 😎
These need to still be made .
They basically are. You can buy all the metal panels, knobs, cables, glass, engines you could ever ask for. You just need a bug or kombi to start with so that you have a document.
@@mikescudder4621 Those bugs may not have much HP, but they were a blast to drive.
Nice one…👍🏴
Autos hermosos y funcionales los amo en verdad que son muy buenos autos este vídeo lo demuestra saludos desde México.
And my dad doesn't understand why I like Bugs.
Awesome versatile little cars.
Thanks for sharing. Just browsing through the comments. These are not Subaru or even Porsche engines. Each engine has a distinct sound. These are how VW type 1 air cooled engines with twin down draft carburetors sound when spec’d. They are built for rallying where torque and reliability matters. In fact if you listen and watch closely the yellow bug revs slightly higher. If you search TH-cam you’ll find modded air cooled normally aspirated VW engines that rev higher and sound even better but they are used in short burst drag racing.
Back to this rally version. These are super beetles with McPhersons up front and trailing arm suspensions (no swing axles) in the rear that deliver much better handling. Handling even improves when shifting more weight like moving the battery up front and swapping rear fenders and trunk lid to fiberglass. Limited slip differentials keep wheel spin in check on the turns. I have to believe they probably converted the brakes to discs all around to handle the extra power from stock. Anyway love these cars. I only wish I could afford to build one. They can get pretty expensive.
really good camera work........nice job !
What a beast!
I'd love to find out how they're getting those revs so high. I'm running double springs and still get a massive falloff around 5kRPM.
You running points ignition? Hope not
speeds just a question of money, how fast can you afford....., double springs may not be what you need, get high rev springs, different spring tensions.
I seen a guy run big pistons but super short crank it equivocated to 1600cc but it was 150hp with 9,000 rpm rev limit
Subaru 2.5L
Alot of super beetles in this video.
Pure beauty
Brabo demais, tu é doido kkkkkkkk
I've never heard a Beetle that sound so aggressive
Where can I learn more about their engines setups and components?
Excelente video, autos preciosos, muy buena carrera, felicitaciones!!!!!
VERY COOL TO SEE. VW BUGS HOPPED UP AND DOING THIS !!!
Verdadeira raridade possante
Cool!
I love it VW ❤❤❤❤
That actually looks like a great time. Not as stressful.
Kraft durch Freude
I'm convinced those differentials have been welded together.
What did they do to these engines to make them sound so good and go so fast? Super charger? Turbo?
Bigger cylinders, race cam and racing exhaust. No turbo or superchargers.
Who says the VW Beetle wasn't fast. Maybe so unmodified. But, these show what can be done to the lovely cars to make them really GOOOOOO!!!!! 😁😁😁😁👍😉
Miss ya PO! Sean from Lindab back in Portsmouth VA. Been a minute. Lol😂
Suggestivo 💪👍💪👏👏👏
Gotta be cracking some cases with those revs.
They handle revs quite well with a balanced crank.
My best friend, that's a great video. I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.
the cars are so cute ♥️
Best. Car. Ever.
El vocho. Un fuera de serie 👍🐞 el auto del siglo
My brain cant process this image without an error.. A VW Beetle moving so fast across a field...
The best car that they ever made.
I love beetles, in Brazil us calling Foos cah (Fusca)
