HPA Motorsports: One Lap of America Twin Turbo Beetle

[Randy@HPA]

HPA is proud to present our latest project car. Fresh from the HPA workshop has emerged a vehicle designed to take on one of the most demanding endurance races available in North America. The Cannonball One Lap of America race is a nine day automotive marathon that requires the complete commitment of car and driver as they traverse nearly 4000 miles and compete on nine tracks to prove reliability and durability can be delivered in a race bred package.




HPA has built its name around our twin turbo conversions and this client’s request for a vehicle that could withstand the brutal punishment of an endurance race provided the perfect opportunity for HPA to showcase the reliability that can be achieved even when the power levels being produced verge on exotic. The performance in this Beetle is second to none. The twin turbo system provides seamless, linear power delivery making it a joy to drive on the street, but more importantly for this application, it is a fine tuned instrument with potential that can only be realized on the race track. From the NX halo system that ensures frigid intercooler temperatures to aid the twin turbo system in maximizing power delivery, to the 8 piston, 365mm brakes that haul this beast down from racing velocity, to the 3 way adjustable KW racing suspension that allows ride comfort combined with knife edge handling prowess, nothing has been overlooked in this build.







The rest of the build and specs can be seen here:

Hey guys,

thanks for the feedback, I know it was alittle late this car was built earlier this year but better late than never. We just recently used this car for the Ultimate Street Car Challenge. Stay tuned for results I think you'll be quite surprised.
