BEETLE 
TURBO 4 SP 1.8L

  

Now they've done it! They have bolted a Turbo onto a Beetle. I can see the droves of disillusioned WRX owners dumping those slow old Subaru's at the nearest wreckers and beetling off to the nearest Volkswagon Reseller. 

Ok! Maybe not, but it is good to see yet another manufacture bolting on a turbo to improve the performance of a small motor. The 110 KW from the 1.8 L is not outstanding but should improve the drivability of the Bug about town. I can't wait to see what (if?) the VW enthusiasts will do to up the boost and turn them into an snarling, un-driveable, monster.
