They said the day would never come, but someone finally made a New Beetle look cool!  The amount of work in this Bug is phenomenal, but so was it’s cost.  This slick roadster was sold on Pistonheads for almost $40,000.  I guess that’s a pretty good bargain considering it cost almost $120,000 to finish.  How much “awesome” does $120,000 buy you?

For power, this bad boy has a 20 valve 1.8 turbo motor swapped in that puts out 381 horsepower.   Behind the TechArt wheels you will find Porsche Cayenne brakes up front and Audi TT brakes in the rear.  For comfort, this bug was fitted with full leather interior with a unique hand made aluminum tonneau cover.  For more pics, check out the gallery.

It kind of reminds me of a modern version of the Hebmuller….
