I was savoring this for a while, to see TG finally put the ultimate footballer's wife show car in its place. This Muscle Beetle has received way too much undeserved 'ZOMG, almost as much power as in a tuned Skyline!!11!1!!' praise before, while bluntly refusing to be put to a test, but they couldn't forestall it any longer.
I never doubted it would be like this - if VW Veyron was really as good as it was bling, they'd give one to Top Gear at the first notice. It was obvious to me. But we had to see it for it to become obvious to everyone. Not only enormous horsepower, but even 4WD won't make a muscle car beat proper sports cars. Extra points, however, for being beaten by a convertible.
Volkswagen, make wagons for the folks, that's what we need you for, not showoff never-to-be-raced toys for the rich, built with the money taken from the Lupo and Fox buyers.
