Vehicle Description
Featured in the January 2007 issue of Hot VW's magazine, this 1966
Volkswagen Beetle combines classic 1950s styling elements with
modern performance upgrades. The Tangerine Orange paint amplifies
its modified profile, while the aluminum BRM Speedwell 15-inch
alloys create an aggressive track-ready appearance. The unique
W-style decklid and bullet-style turn signals showcase its 1957
body modifications. Firestone F-560 135R15 front tires and Yokohama
Avid Touring 215/65R15 rear tires plant this machine firmly on the
pavement. The black ragtop adds a classic finishing touch to this
custom build.
The tan vinyl interior reflects a focused, performance-oriented
design. Racing-inspired bucket seats with Simpson harnesses lead to
a matching rear bench. A custom rollcage with door bars integrates
seamlessly into the footwells. The EMPI shifter takes center stage,
while the dash-mounted oil temperature, pressure, and boost gauges
keep tabs on vital statistics. A large tachometer with shift light
dominates the view, complemented by black rubber floor mats and
tinted plexiglass sun visor.
The 2387cc flat-four VW engine, bored and stroked for maximum
output, pushes power through a 4-speed manual transmission. A
strategically placed turbocharger mounted near the rear bumper
feeds compressed air through direct piping to dual throttle bodies.
The fuel injection system utilizes AN lines and fittings
throughout. Four-wheel disc brakes provide superior stopping
ability, while the VW independent suspension maintains stability at
all speeds. This motor spins freely to 8,000 RPM, where boost peaks
at 12 PSI.
