History of this Vehicle
The “BeetlePorsche” is a next generation RSi Beetle Cup concept car combining the performance parts from Volkswagen and Porsche (including some Audi) as well as their aftermarket complements.
The Volkswagen Beetle single handedly lifted the German economy out of third-world status after WWII. Once again the Germans have revived the legendary automobile of the populous and has handed us an ideal playground to perform every auto enthusiasts automotive alchemy to suit his or her’s own conceptual ideas. This is but one iteration of the Beetle. We picked the hybrid Porsche theme to illustrate it’s kindred historical bloodline and to show that the New Beetle has the potential to be one of the fastest aftermarket modified sports coupe.
