Volkswagen Beetle 2012 inspired by the Porsche 911 GT3 RS

We already have the first preparation done on the new Volkswagen Beetle. The truth is that they have taken very little time to turn the new Beetle into a true example of sportiness, clearly inspired by a jewel like the Porsche 911 GT3 RS.

Specifically, what you see on screen is a creation carried out by VWvortex on a pre-production vehicle provided by Volkswagen. Otherwise it would not have been possible, since, as you well know, the German brand will not begin delivering the first units to its owners until autumn.

As for the project itself, unfortunately there is no mechanical tuning for now. They have promised to consider it in the future, although for the moment they have focused solely on the vehicle’s looks, and that aesthetic has without a doubt gained many points over the original.

If we start to break down the project little by little, the most eye-catching element is probably the 20-inch alloy wheels, VMR710, painted orange and fitted with magnificent Continental 245/35 ZR20 tyres. Behind these enormous wheels you will surely have noticed the new Brembo Stage II brake kit, with 14-inch discs on the front axle.

On the other hand, the vehicle could not show such an attractive look if it weren’t for certain details, such as the removal of all the chrome trim on the bodywork and orange vinyl under the doors. Finally, I’ll just add that according to VWvortex they will soon update their unique project with a new spoiler in the purest 911 GT3 RS style.
