What would be the best way to transform a regular old Volkswagen Beetle into a turbocharged, boxer engined monster? The answer is obvious, you just have to take the powerful engine out of a Subaru Impreza WRX STI and stick it in the back.
The end result is a 282 horsepower monster, and no, none of the complex electronics seem to have been added from the Impreza to the Beetle. So you’ve got the potential for an explosive mix if you as us.
The car seems to be sitting on a German dealer’s lot right now, and has recently popped up for sale on a Romanian online sales website. The asking price? A staggering €59,990 which is just under $80,000 at today’s exchange rates.
It might come with a snazzy leather interior, those cool retro rims and a sunroof, but for that kind of money you can buy a brand new Subaru Impreza WRX STI and have money left for a couple of minter Bugs. Oh, and by the way, it has no air conditioning.
