3.2 litre twin engine Beetle. The body was made from fibreglass, mid mounted with a Porsche five speed box. Drank methanol and had a reputed 400 horses. Weighed in at 417kg. Porsche brakes and steering.
In its first race it came third behind a Ford GT 40 and a Lola? T70.
With Okrasa bits the engines ended up being 2.2 litres each. A 4.4 litre bug! Used 4 twin 45 Webbers to get the methanol in.
It never acheived any real success and all that remains now are photos.
