Never underestimate the power of an old car. In this case, the power of a 1974 Volkswagen Beetle. Despite being the slowest car ever built, the old Volkswagen Beetle receives help from Subaru Forester engine to boost the Volkswagen Beetle’s output.
To begin with, the EJ25 engine is an alternative of the Subaru WRX STI motor and can put down serious numbers. The 2.5-liter turbocharged mill, however, does not remain stock and receive new forged crank, forged rods and forged pistons. Marty and Moog, the men who are responsible of giving the 1974 Volkswagen Beetle a new life, improves the car’s block so that they are able to run a big amount of boost without being afraid that the motor will blow up.
When the Volkswagen Beetle gets a new engine, it is used in a race against Porsche 911 Carrera to test the engine’s performance. Porsche 911 is one of the most iconic sports car in the world, with its superior performance, not to forget its excellent ability on the road and in track. With the fully 2.5-liter turbocharged engine, the renewed Volkswagen Beetle now has ten times power than before.
Surprisingly, the old Volkswagen Beetle with 359 horsepower manages to beat a Porsche 911 like there’s no tomorrow. Remarkable, right? So, old Beetle’s owners, have you ever imagined what your car can do now?
