  • For this video, my buddy Chris was kind enough to let me drive his VW Group 1.8 turbo Beetle! It has a ton of personality to say the least. Stay awesome!

      toasty mcgeee Yeah the one I saw was a 2015 Beetle Turbo which in the UK means it has the 2.0 from the Golf GTI with 220ps and it sounded like it had DSG with the farts between gears and I believe they do 0-60 in something like 6.5 seconds then again it was a good thing for me because I ended up gettin my car remapped and love it loads more!

    @HerculanoAlonso Před 8 lety +12

    Because it shares pretty much all the unseen parts (like platform, engine, transmission, drivetrain amd so on) with other vw cars (such as the golf) it can be deeply tuned. A guy here in Brazil out his hands in one of those and took 390bhp out of it, remapped the DSG system and now the looses traction under hard acceleration in 4th gear 😁😁😁😁

      @@Eidrian111 Sounds about right to me. I have a 2015 Beetle Turbo, and it actually is the Classic Edition with plaid cloth and leather upholstery, color-coded interior trim, and with those "Hitler" rims; I like them a lot actually on my car despite what he says in the video. Anyways, I live in North Louisiana so every guy I went to high school with drove big jacked up pickup trucks with glasspacks on them, annoying asf; I would easily pull away from them at stoplights and I have done nothing to this car, makes the same power as it did from the factory. I probably destroyed quite a few egos back then.

    Thank you for doing a video over this. I have a 2003 1.8 turbo Turbo S New Beetle with Unitronic Stage 2, and they advertise 235hp and 275 ft-lb tq. It shares Audi TT Mk1, and Jetta/Golf parts, so upgrades are quite plentiful. I get a TON of crap for driving it, but I love it and I continue to modify it and impress people with it. I'm trying to work in canards, splitters, Liberty Walk/Rocket Bunny flares and really make it an aggressive car. Thank you for another great review!
    P.S. I can turn my traction control off

    VW made it so that you can turn off traction control on the Mark 6 golf R as well. There was a work around half-way through the generation (12+ Golf R's I believe) where you could modify the ECU and turn it off.

    I agree that the new generation looks sick. Especially if you change the colors
