Default A look into the future

Further Upgrades will be...

Carbonfiber Hoods


and Fenders (now made of Glasfiber)

perhaps carbonfiber doors

Spoilers, Dashboard, Sideboards are allreday Carbonfiber

Bigger carebutors or fuel injektion, bigger valves to go beyond 200HP

The aim is to have a car competable with a ยด74 Porsche 911 RS

last but not least, retrofit the chrome aplications
like one this one

Man that 944 is beautiful...so clean As for the Beetle, that car has to be hilarious to drive lol...probably pretty unstable at high speed thanks to the basic aerofoil shape eh? Nice cars though, thanks for the pics

My beetle is not unstable at high speeds.
Lowering the front a little bit more then the rear induces a small ground effect, the drastically elimation of ground clearance (- 4 inches) makes a car more aerodynamical and reduces lift.
till that point the front would generate downforce but lift in the rear, so i fitted a small wing on the top wich produces 200N of downforce

in summon my beetle has a performance envelope an driving chracteristic like the old Porsche 911

Sweet dude...but if it has driving characteristics of an older 911, then it's still gotta be pretty hairy at the limit right?
