Toyota MR2 with a Beetle Body and Audi Motor

Published in engineswapdepot.com

Drag Media UK recorded this very unique Beetle at Santa Pod Raceway for the VW Action event. The story goes the car was originally a third-generation Toyota MR2 that visited Stav-Tech / Zurawski Motorsport for an engine swap. In the back of the car they installed a turbocharged 1.8 L Audi inline-four from an Audi TT. Then the owner cut the body off and shortened the chassis 50 mm to graft on a VW Beetle body. The unique car’s best quarter-mile was a 11.192 sec at 123.9 mph.
