I saw that too! There are a couple more pics on his facebook page. If you search time attack on fb the owner has posted a comment on one of the pictures (his personal pics are set to public so there are more to find).

Mid mounted 800bhp Roger Clark built Subaru engine. I'm looking forward to the full feature!

Wow

More info stat! This thing looks like an animal and it puts my car to shame. 850hp, 6spd sequential w/ flat shift, and also a fairly nice areo setup at first glance.

A different but similar looking race bug:

Thats about as different as you could get from the first one. from what i remember off the car its a old f5000 chassis with a grp bug body mounted on top. it was built and raced in special saloons in the late 70's early 80's. you had to keep the same basic layout of the car so beetles, type 3 and the odd skoda would turn up with full on race chassis under them.

It looks like it´s based on the "Fun Cup" racing series cars.Fiberglass body,tube frame and the series cars have Golf engines in them with 130bhp.This one is truely awesome and represents what the Fun Cup series should be..

Something from Gatebil:

Heilige Scheisse!!! He stuffed a turbocharged BMW V12 engine in there! Nuts!

And I thought I had mental issues about cars...

I see it now,it is a six...might help looking a little closer,eh?

I know! I saw this on SH. Front engine turbo BMW powered I believe. Another crazy scandinavian build. Hopefully they do a feature on it.

I saw the time attack car over the weekend at a drag strip near me. Unfortuntely it didn't move off the trailer on the sunday, I'm guessing he had an incident on saturday. Looked good though!

Yeah this thing is nuts. I want to get more details of the build....

It's new, but it's what I would want if I got a new beetle:

A Fastivus for the rest of us!!

http://www.speedhunters.com/2013/07/...nks-its-a-bmw/

Looks like it's basically a BMW E30 with a 1303 body on top.

And it's not over until you pin it. I wonder if its fastivus pole is billet? As you can tell that's my favorite Seinfeld episode.

This just speaks to me...

I followed that build from the beginning, and after driving a wrx powered 914, and more recently a cayman s, a subaru powered 914 or boxster are seriously tempting. I gotta keep telling myself, on project at a time...

'Ring Beetle
