250hp/6800rpm VW Käfer | Herbert Perwein at Hillclimb Rechberg 2022 

Classic bug, does look menacing

se ve very good. ..

I would hope he might like it.

Yeah yours only has(about) 8x less power 😄

Agreed.....I had a 58 back in 1986 and I put the "big bore" kit in it bumping it to a WHOPPING 40HP!! That car would take me anywhere I wanted to go....it'd just never bring me back. A friend in highschool was all about VW's and he had a bug with a PORSCHE engine bolted to a bus tranny. If everything was just right he could pull the front wheels off the ground. (NOT a wheelie....but about 4-6 inches is all.) Combine all that with the NEW Judas Priest album......🤘🤘

That thing probably weigh as much as a goldwing lol

@@makeityourself1 haha my bud had a Meyers manx ,single carb engine and huge wide rear tires. From a redline clutch dump it would pop the fronts up a couple inches in the right circumstances.

@@MrTheHillfolk AWESOME 👍 Those were the days....your buddy standing there ,"Whoa dude....that was like 3 inches off the ground that time!!!"

Yes need bo on roof.

No that's where the air ends up on a beetle it's working, why do you think that's where the grills are to cool the engine?

@@herbienbrian2 On a Beetle the air flow detatches from the body at the top of the rear window, (search for images of Beetles being wind tunnel tested) meaning below that any aerodynamic devices become very inefficient (ask yourself why the funcup race cars have their wings mounted so high) The cooling grilles on a Beetle require high pressure (meaning slow air) which should tell you the air down there isn't much use for creating downforce.

Sounds like a four cylinder one.

Probably 2.something liter with Porsche fanshroud....all the necessary goodies inside....I am intrigued by the box though, probably something that came from Suttgart too...

@@kwikbug I built a 2.6 type 4 about 15 years ago. It had a similar growl. Not as high revving.

@@monica93304 Good stuff Monica.. 31 years ago I had a 2276 type ! with everything done..Scat crank, carillo rods, wiseco's, Berg F316 cam, Berg 1.5 ratio rockers, double valve springs, 42mm inlet, 37.5 ex valves, 48IDA's, Heads were done by Gene Berg..mega light flywheel, double diaphragm clutch, Feramic clutch plate, Transform gearbox, Plumbed for n2o, never used it though...made 247 rwhp...12:1 comp ratio...screamed like a motorbike 10000 rpm, but felt safer at 9000 , mostly used for strip in street set up...11, 21 at 182 kmh!! that was my life in those years, and I miss it!!

Paukenschläger. Möglich, daß ihr den Motor vom Porsche eingebaut habt. Was ist dabei herausgekommen? Eine unfahrbare Runkelkiste. Zu deiner Zeit, gab es keine korrekte Vorderachse für diese Leistung. Über die primitive Hinterachse, der damaligen Käfer, müssen wir nicht diskutieren. Und eine Tieferlegung an der Hinterachse hätte auch nicht für STABILITÄT gesorgt. Denk mal richtig nach : Selbst das serienmäßige Fahrwerk im Turbo Porsche war damals mit der Leistung überfordert.

Gescheite Hinterachse gab es schon, immerhin mit Schräglenker, wie sie später auch im 944er allerdings in Alu war. Es gab allerdings keine gescheiten Bremsen, denn die kamen erst später. Ich frag mich eher, wo denn der Motor Platz gefunden haben soll. Ein 6 Zylinder steht hinten raus, der Ladeluftkühler hat keinen Platz usw. Ich habe noch nie von einem Käfer gehört, der einen 930er Motor verbaut hatte. Wenn, dann muss das ein krasser Umbau gewesen sein.

absolutely wrong 😁

Better throttle response w/non turbo

@@rudymaier5007 That is true, But, a lack of power is still a lack of power . We could see it at the Pike's Peak , who's had the last record.

Not true at all...N/A react and spin a lot faster then turbo ones and torque can be problem with traction. That is reason why older F1 cars are soo fast.

@@kopronko You mean torque* also N/A engines are a lot ligher then turbo ones,good example are Judd engines.

qiuero ver el tuyo😂

No me gusta el bocho Lo peor🤔

But it drives like a front mounted engine car. So it's detuned. If anything, this car should be balanced not front heavy. In reality, this is a rear engine car and should be tuned for that.

@@Gma7788 I can’t even tell what your point is because half of what you said contradicts the other half

i like to see some laptime comparising

It has a pleasant sound. But it sounds like a slow build up the revs engine.

Wrong. It's actually too powerful at steering. The rear end is either loose or following the very powerful front end. The front is so powerful it quickly gets out of control.

Herby was very different from this.

Herby on steroids

Hi rat 22, ....never seen a 4 wheel motorcycle ?????? continue with Your calculations ..... a horse weights about 1200 lbs with one horsepower how many horses You need for six - wheel - ship with 2600 tons ? ..............oh dear .........

An oval window 1955-57 VW Beetle weighs around 1725 pounds/ 782 kilo.

Are you on medication ?

No later than 57

@@richiethecee2491 yeah probably
