Hey Hugo,
I first saw your car on the rorty site. I wish I had the time and money to build a mid-engine monster like yours but i suppose that my 1600ACVW motor will have to do for now Keep up the good work man and all of the best and good luck for the rest of the build. Cheers |

Yes,he´s a very good friend of mine.The car handles very well.He didn´t build it as a strict drag racer,it can corner just as good as most sports cars.Right now he´s pushing around 600-650hp and hasn´t reached full boost yet.The twin turbos spool up to about 1.2-1.4 bar and he´s finally able to get 0,8-1,0 bar without pulverising the transmission.He estimates it will do about 700-750hp.The tiptronic seems to hold up well even though it was a nightmare to programm.He has done everything himself except the engine and mapping.He´s not an engine buff,but he is an expert in fabricating.It looks like a 1200 beetle,but it´s actually a 1302 - the body has been modified to look like a 1200.The wheelbase is still 1302.It is brutal and incredibly stable.

No I don´t have any pictures that are up to date,you can actually see more in the videos on you tube than what I have,sorry. There will be a feature of this car next month in the German VW Scene magazine.He will also be in Hannover,Germany at the Maikäfertreffen on May 1st - look for the Bug-Talk Banner the car will be parked right next to it on display.
Here´s another couple of shots: http://www.volksrodderz.de/2010/04/1...cke-hat-n-drin http://www.volksrodderz.de/2010/01/3...ns-v8-bi-turbo Last edited by 70Turbobug; January 9th 2011 at 12:41. |

I like Hugo´s rear suspension arrangement better than El Loco´s,actually. What is your target weight? El Loco´s bug weighs just under 1100kg with a full tank of gas.The fenders are steel also.
