Are you able to translate the article for us mere mortals?:bowdown:

[1303R]

the rear wings on that are huge! looks like the wheel base was increased in the rear. wonder if it's using 911 trailing arms?

[beetle1303]

1303r, i bet u mean the rear track, not the wheelbase

[1303R]

nope, says wheelbase increased 11cm. i know the 911 use's longer trailing arms, that track is obviously much wider as well thou

Yes, it is trailing-arms from a 911. The brakes are from a 911 turbo 1983 , both in front and in the back. This car is buildt in 1983... , that´s even before 16 inch Fuchs wheels was put on the 911´s.. So given that it is 25 years ago this car is buildt it is quite a piece of work... Looong before any brake-kits like Kerscher and so on... The oil-tank is at the front as well as the battery. The car has a weight of 1085 kg with porsche 911 back-seats,custom made styling (one of a kind) and the wheelarches are made in steel and not in fibre. The engine is as said a Porsche 934 block,porsche 3,2 pistons,cams from the 911 sc,turboes are two scwitzer with each intercooler behind the rear whellarches,extra fuelinjection over a adjustable amount of turbo-pressure. This was the best there was in 1983 when the car and engine was made..
Now these days this car is no sensation, but at the time it was made in 1983 it was like a legend in Norway made for at the time-being most rich person in Norway owning the Bergesen shipping company , a real car-enthusiast that resently passed away . The car is now under complete restoration by it´s new owner, and a new engine is also under construction.
If I have heard right .. , the brother of this owns one of the Nordstadt-beetle´s.. Then you are talking about lucky brothers...
