Beetle WITH Audi AWD VR6

[ncandrei]

Hey sorry to get you pumped up with no info but it was built!!!
like a year ago when I first got my beetle there was this tuning company that pored something like 150K worth of work to put a AWD system in the beetle and it had over 400 hp. Not to hard since its the same chassis as the A4 golf R32 and passat 4motion all have the beetle chassis.

Question is does anybody have pics - info on this hhhmmm hmmm.. SUUUUPER BEETLE!!!!
link and pics please il update if i find it

HPA actually built a number of them. There was a red one at a dealer near me probably 5 years ago. From the outside, you couldn't really tell. We couldn't figure out at first why it was a $40k car, especially since it was the older body style and the '06 cars were out. Upon closer reading and looking, it was an HPA car. It might have even been a VrT but I know it was AWD and at least a VR. They really did a great job...and for the work, time, and money they put into it, the price wasn't really bad at all. But that car could get you into some serious trouble !

No guys, NCANDREI is on to something here.

I was reading a Car & Driver article today, and I thought I misunderstood the first sentence, but you tell me what you think...

Shockingly, despite a crazy (non-U.S.), VR6-powered RSi version and a midcycle face lift, the hype surrounding the New Beetle certainly died down over the past few years, and the car is due for a redesign. After all, it still uses the two-generations-old Golf IV's PQ34 platform, which will live on only in emerging markets such as China.

40000 is crazy money, but i guess it would be faster than most things on the road and nobody would expect anything.
