Old Swedish race.......

[Bewitched666]

What kind of engine is that yellow beetle running,sounds like a v6/8 

Where did that beetle and the variant end??

Nice looking cars though

Flat 4 with blowers.

the Beetle is in Norway and for sale I think and the variant is i
the Stockholm area.

Remember seeing them race at Bugrun in the mid 90's,was really impressive.And those engines-a work of art.

Saw them both on a "Wheels" meeting in Karlskoga in 94..95..96 i think . Have got a video of the whole thing somewhere , but need someone to convert it to dvd..
They where both that f..... fast , that i cant believe it

Thank you very much for posting this video.
To my knowlege that is the fastest that a supercharged Volksy has ever gone.

My own car only ever went 9.76@147, but at an 1/8 mile event it did go 6.19 and 117mph,
but crashed at the very next 1/4 mile event.

It weighed 1850lbs when it crashed.

My budy Mike Kristen recently ran a 6.09@122.7mph, using only second and 3rd gears,
so he may go quicker eventually,

but that car was very impressive considering it was the mid 1990's.

I have searched high and low for details on this car ever since I read a snippet in VWTrends back in the 90s.

I hope to see som engine photos if anyone has any!!

Wow!!!, makes me appreciate the wheelie bars I got on the wall in my barn more... they came of the yellow one

The driver and owners is Mika Jansson.
He raced many years in ACVW in Sweden and mostly with 911 cylinders heads on his engines.
Singel, twin turbo and then finally this car with 911 heads and twin Autorotors. Ahh, one more twin, twin spark plugs.

Thanks Carsten,
looking forward to those engine pictures!!

[Rune]

Is this the same car in an earlier version?

[Per Ericson]

Yes

[Roman]

Brings back old memories.  I remember the Gelleråsen track, there is a 90 degree right corner very close to the end of the1/8 mile track - really scary!

Excellent Carsten!

I have tried and was never able to see the engine.
I was even in contact with Mika as he wanted me to buy or help him sell the car and/or engine at one point but still, never saw the details. I guess he then sold it to Norway so no need for me to help him at the time.

Looking forward to this.
