    I've been a VW fan for over forty years and I've seen my share of VW mods and customs. Obviously dropping a V8 into a Beetle is nothing new as you know. And honestly I don't typically give 'em much attention simply due to the Madd Scientist approach that's used. I'm also a bit of a purist and believe it's just better to run with a VW engine to start with. With all that can be done with a VW engine now days, I just don't see the purpose of going through all that's necessary to change it over... Now with all that being said, I gotta say that you guys have really outdone yourselves. It looks magnificent, it really does. Every step of the job was absolutely professional and the end result is just beautiful. You were even able to maintain it's beautiful stance. I could put a lot more into this, but I'll just say that you've created an awesome custom that any VW fan would just be over the top to own. The pride and passion that was put into this, is truly something to be admired. You certainly have my respect.
    Thank for sharing this..
    Keep up the incredible work....

    What genius design.
    And....and....You guys actually put a manual trans in it.
    I can't tell you how much I detest really great hot rods with wimped out automatics in them.
    I worked with Mercedes Benz Road Racing Group for many years.
    I worked with the German engineers and back in 1982 ,I asked for copies of blueprints for the 1939 and 1955 Mercedes Silver Arrow Formula One monoposto race cars.
    Many many months later I received them from Stuttgart!
    I was shocked they actually sent them!
    I want to finally take the 1939 blueprints and build a widened two seat version.
    I love the work you guys did!

    Wow , you put a smile on my face with that genius of an engineering build. I did love the tab system that was beautiful the way you put that together. One of the best hot rods I’ve ever seen, of all time. What was the V-8 that you used? It really had a sound like a180 degree flat crank. like-the sound of a Ferrari. That was extremely well done build. My hats off to you!

    • @Ritalie
      @Ritalie 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Are you talking about the cross plane engine, like in the new Yamaha R1, the Tiger 900 adventure bike with the triple, or the Ford Mustang 5.0L? I am not a fan at all. There are not any performance benefits, only added vibration and a rougher sound, when you use a flat crank or the industry name "cross plane" crank. It's something experimentally used in racing to take away power, and make the engine rougher, so it corners better. But you could just take away 3 degrees of timing and do the same thing! This Beetle sounds AWESOME though. The small 4 cylinder and 3 cylinder bikes DO NOT sound good as a Crossplane.

    I would hope you wouldn’t “throw away” the chassis, engine, driveline, suspension, etc. The engine looks to be in pretty good condition as well as everything else under the car. Somebody out there would almost certainly want it for parts for their old Beetle, or for a new project built on a Beetle’s chassis. Either way, I hope you gave or sold it at a fair price to a Beetle-loving hobbyist.

      @tirapalla The beetle body is pretty strong as it is all curves..being bolted to the skateboard chassis it would be pretty good...also the torque acts mainly on the rear where the engine/trans is...it does not act on the whole length of the car like in a Mustang for example...but still I get your point :-D

      I agree completely, except for the roof rack!
      Also I would like to have seen better driving footage near the end. I got the feeling I was watching one short clip over and over as if too much was being made of not enough actual footage, and it was all at low speed. I would like to have heard it going by at serious speed, at least the 160 kph that it must easily be capable of achieving in a very few seconds. I wanted to hear that engine under load-after all that is the point of dropping a tubo V8 into the bug in the first place, isn't it??
      I want to *see* and *hear* the speed it's capable of.
      Nice clean execution, though, and I enjoyed the videography for the assembly part of the video.

    • @jakeblanton6853

      I'm old enough that I can remember the old VWs when they were new and in fact owned one of the old 6V models (early 1960s). I have never see a roof rack on a Beetle that was on the street, just in magazines (or ads for roof racks). It just never was a thing where I was living.
      This build looks nice, but it would need air-conditioning where I live. I can remember driving those old Beetles on a hot summer day with no air-conditioning and how the vinyl seats just stuck to your skin and seared it...

    In the ‘80’s there was an outfit in Hannover Germany named Arzt , they put a 928 drivetrain and put it where the rearseat of a bug used to be.
    One big problem though is the terrible aero dynamic shape of a Beetle, an inverted airfoil .
    Fun to drive @ hi-speed .
    BTW, those people also took a Golf 2, I believe , cut it in half length wise, widened the body to then transplant it onto a 928 chassis, now that was fun !

    Note: This isn’t really a “stealth” Beetle- stealth implies that you can’t tell it’s anything special from the outside, so you’d have to have kept the old paint, interior, and wheels (or hubs that look the original). This things is obviously modded at first glance, so it would be called a “restomod” (restoration-modification) or just a mod (I’m not sure where you draw the line on what’s restoration and what’s just stripping and replacing the interior and fresh paint on the shell with new fenders).

      Since the frame is replaced, the old VIN is no longer there, so I wonder whether it stays titled as the old VW or as a homebuilt car?

    Great video but let me ask a question- If your spending 85,000$ US for building this racing beetle- why not just buy a late model Dodge Viper? I love beetles by the way.
