This low-slung Volkswagen Beetle roadster is an army-green, street drag racing beast!

Volkswagen’s very existence rested on the decision by the Nazis, as Adolf Hitler wanted a simple car to be mass-produced in Germany. And then was born the Volkswagen Beetle, one of the most iconic cars in the history of automotive engineering. The Beetle has not its charm even a single ounce ever since its inception, and for a good reason too. Even though the heritage model was discontinued in 2019, it still weighs its worth in gold for the lucky owners who have one. Take, for example, the modified Volkswagen Beetle Deluxe converted into a piping hot matte black roadster.

Another one joins the elite bandwagon in the form of this military green VB Beetle that looks so Nazi-inspired. The ultra-fat wheels, low road height with a ground clearance only enough to go over a dozen paper sheets, give this Beetle a pure drag racer-like feel. Those twinkling headlights are so inviting and the broad but cute nose getting the military color treatment adds a whole lot of meat to the already eye-candy character of the Beetle. Don’t be mistaken by those adorable looks, the ride has a lot of power under the hood and the aggressive stance in the form of rear diffusers and the slightly redone spoiler.

But most of the attitude is attributed to its bulky wheels with matte black rims to match the style. I keep mentioning them again and again – they are just too eye-catchy. This VW Beetle is crafted to glaze on the high-speed freeways or professional race alleys. Who won’t want to own it after all!

Official LEGO Creator Expert VW Beetle Set is Bugtastic

I used to live for building cars out of my LEGO blocks, and I clearly recall the teachers having to gather up all the wheels at pre-K to stop the 4-year-old brawls from happening because that jerk James tried to bogart all the wheels. Now that I’m a grown up, I’m excited to see this cool new LEGO set based on a classic 1960’s Volkswagen Beetle.

This particular Bug is ready for the beach with a roof rack, surfboard, and cooler on top. The kit has over 1100 pieces to it, and the finished car model has a tilting rear seat, opening hood and trunk, and an air-cooled four cylinder in back.

When assembled, the car measures over 11-inches high, 10-inches long, and 4-inches wide with the surfboard and cooler. There are stickers to make four different license plates included. The kit will sell for $99.99(USD) and it looks awesome. You should definitely buy one when it comes out this August – the last LEGO Beetle model is now a very expensive collector’s item.

TARDIS VW Beetle: Fahrverwhügen

This TARDIS VW Beetle is all timey-whimey and bigger on the… outside. Which is pretty normal. I remember when the 3rd Doctor had a car that he used to drive around in and fight monsters with. The next Doctor should have a Beetle like this.

We need more Timelord driving around crashing into things and less Timelord flying around in a box whining about his name. Remember that crack in time? I bet it started on the windshield of this VW. Probably happened when he let Clara drive.

Impossible girl my arse! Impossible that she passed her driver’s test. Impossible that she didn’t see that Dalek in the middle of the road. It’s impossible for her to get cheap insurance rates – that’s what’s impossible.
