great googly-moogly! this is the “new beetle” I had hoped for when the “new beetle” we got came out. Even without the awesome increase in power, the *styling* is right in the sweet spot!

This is pretty much how the new Beetle should have looked from factory. I mean that plastic atrocity has no place in the world. And I like the old and many of these modern retros like BMW Minis and motorcycles.

This guy needs to be put in charge of designing the new New Beetle, the last “New Beetle” was a travesty, this is a masterpiece.

This is awesome! I would love to have one!

I find myself predisposed to liking restomods anyway (if you can call this custom build a restomod) and this thing is awesome. Kudos to them.

I’m not a Beetle fan but that thing is sexy as hell. It must be pretty quick too!

Wow, looks damn nice. The only design aspect that I’m not 100% sold on is the headrest fairings. They look alright, but just a touch too big. Any idea if there are functional roll hoops under there?

great... now i’m thinking how amazing a new all electric karmann ghia would be

The only line I don’t care for is the wing. I’d rather see it have more of a speedster shape to it - but the aerodynamics may dictate otherwise. Does it have a roof?

I’m not usually a fan of convertibles, but this is very nicely done. The colour even reminds me of the Beetle my mother had back in the 1970's :)

VW should do this as their next sports-car. Except Porsche kind of blocked them by 4-cylinder-ing the Cockster combo. The product differentiation window disappeared.

It is good to see someone finding a purpose for the MacPherson strut Beetles. They border on being pariahs in the aircooled community.

Ahhh the perfect car to show up in for any Porsche event!

Wow - I love it. And 210 HP / mid engine seems like it would be a hell of a lot of fun, too.

I don’t give a shit about Beetles...and this thing is awesome.

I’m sure my bank account is not big enough to buy this car, and I wish it was.

Oh fuck yeah. This is gorgeous.

What an attractive car. Thanks for posting about this!

This may be one of the coolest cars I’ve ever seen.

This is a thing I never knew I wanted, but I now must have.
