This is an offtop, but quite an interesting car. Here we see a classic Volkswagen Beetle, but this is a kind of silhouette prototype based on the Spyder. This car was made by racing driver and designer Rodrigo Bonora. The engine and transmission are the same as those commonly used in the Spyder: a VW AP (220 hp) coupled to a Gol transmission. The body is made in collaboration with MC Tubarão. Bonora notes the convenience and pace of the car with the new body, despite the increased weight (20 kg). Beetle hit the track this weekend at Guapore, where Summer Race marked opening of new racing season at Rio Grande do Sul.
