That's a dream car! No noise, insane acceleration and classic design and built super clean! Well done.

Getting 3.2 0-60 out of single motor is such an excellent engineering compromise. The build is so clean, its still RWD, weight distribution perfect and rear seats still in place. One practical hyper performance sleeper.

I’ve been driving my 1302 for 41 years now and it puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. Now that I’m old and retired I’m a little over the noise and smells. What you have done and archived with your beetle is just mind blowing, it’s a credit to your hard work and engineering skills. Well done on an amazing car/build. I know you will enjoy your beetle for as long as I have with mine. I also know what I would do to my beetle if I could. Great video thanks.

My first car was a '73 super beetle, now you're making me wish I had it back! Beautiful craftsmanship!

Boggles the mind how far electric tech has come these days. A VW Beetle blowing the doors off supercars worth $100,000s is ridiculously insane.

Love this so much. My first car was a ‘66 Beetle with a 1641cc engine and twin Webber carbs. Massive wheels, original brakes and a 30:70 weight distribution at best. No idea how I survived that but I did. The electric is so cool. Awesome.

You’re a genius dude I love to see people working with passion 💪🏽

Beautifully executed! Sleeper Beetle, quick electric racer, modern suspension -what more?! Now, with that GT race suspension package, you've gotta take it round the local race course and see how she does!

My first car was a beetle. Im always love to drive this car. A litte to slow....but now i see this.....back in love again!!!!😍

Congrats on designing and building what is no doubt the most awesome V W Beetle that has ever been created! Your a Blooming Genius! Well Done!!!

This has to be one of the BEST EV classic channels out there. Great work guys and love the shows on Quest. Can’t wait till series III.

Absolutely, brilliantly, insane! Another mad genius milestone, Moggy! I love it!

that is the most beautiful beetle I've ever seen

Love it! 😆👏🏻👏🏻 can't wait to see more of this car! Well done man! 👌

Awesome job! You're an inspiration!

Just awesome! I’ve enjoyed your show.

Need to see more vids of this beast.

I first saw your fantastic Electric Beetle in Feb 2018. This inspired me to have my '71 Beetle converted, and using the Netgain Hyper 9 (120 HP) Motor, powered by Tesla Model S Batteries My deep frustration has been, that my Beetle has been completed last June 2020. Beetle was converted by EV Traction Brisbane Australia. But I have been stranded 12,500 miles away, in the UK due to Covid restrictions for the last 255 days!! Boo Hoo Hoo! Can't wait to get back home and drive it! Moggy, a great job, and proves that the old Beetles are timeless works of art.

your friend wasn't even trying, when he arrives 2 minutes later sheepishly creeping to a stop. the speedometer stops at 100 original equipment. nicely done. had a book from the 70's on kit car conversions. this was one of the projects.

I found this video you uploaded about a year ago and was blown away. So much so I had to find it again so I could share it with a friend of mine. Thanks for showing us your handy-work. All my best to you and your family. Peter St. John Fresno, CA

What a monster! This is top of my wish list if I win the lottery.

I saw your stunning Beetle (& the crew cab) on Petrol Ped's channel a few days ago... the performance can only be described as "electrifying"!! If I could afford a Tesla motor, I'd do this to my HC Viva. I guess I'll stick to the modded YB Cosworth that I've fitted for now! That & the fact that I live in the wilds of North East Scotland & need a long range for shows & events all over the UK. Cheers. Leigh.

Had a US special edition '73 Sports Bug in marathon blue own my heart since I was a child- 50hp, a rusted empi muffler, and my dads sense of humor made it fun and obnoxious to ride from school for me as a 6th grader. These darn silly vehicles are just a joy even with the pain they cause with their original equipment... that creation you've built is just fantastic.

That is an absolute definition of perfection in every aspect. Very nice

FANTASTIC build!!! As more and more laws are passed to outlaw gasoline vehicles, this would be just a very fun car to own!! Would like to know price...

I loved the video of his first run when he was calling out the speed and when he hit the finish line he was past the line by 50 foot already

I was expecting the sound bang to hit when he took of at the end. Brilliant work. 👍

I can't wait for your show to come back to the USA I love seeing what you guys do to cars

"Electric Classic Cars" makes people giggle again :)

Absolutely insane!! Wish you could celebrate your victory with that traditional old-school hooter the Beetle was given for some character 😂

Pure genius. This is brilliant. Really nice work.

Fantastic, love your work!

Amazing, love it! My partner has a beautiful 1960's Beetle. But I wouldn't dare put our kids in something this powerful/fast without a roll cage or side impact bars! We rarely put our kids in our Beetle, it feels so unsafe. 😬

Well done Moggy!!! We have some monster Beetles here in Brazil, but this is one of a kind!!

@10:30 : "I've built a monster!"😂😂. Truer words were never spoken. Great monster, mate.

Brilliant little Beetle! Leaves every Porsche behind except maybe one of your conversions 🙂

That sprint was absolutely Mega..How good too, seeing no pollution, just Pure Fun. Great to see, such excitement in these covid days! Love your videos!

Very nice, Long live the Beetle

Well done Moggy keep em coming!!

This is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time!

The bug is cool and all... ...but what you need to do now is a VW Rabbit and call it the Energizer Bunny.

Bravo! Absolute beast and a real credit to you:) Full roll cage on the cards??

That was a blast to watch, thanks for the video!

Guau!! Suscribed just to see this car conversion in detail!! Bravo!!

I was looking at this badass beetle and thinking "sweet", then he said "Tesla Motor" and I just broke out in laughter at the preposterous level of awesomeness I knew was to come!

What an incredible car! It sure beat my 1966 VW 1300, just be careful because that body has no safety built in. I was in a rollover accident, the doors the the doors popped open and the windshield A pillars collapsed just from the weight of the gasoline powered car. The rear engine cars spun around easily, a problem you won’t have because of your front and rear weight distribution.

That's a little rocket ship, loved it Thanks for sharing.

Only one word for that car. Brilliant. Thanks for the video.

remember the model well. My Mum had one. I also had one later. Perfect in winter on snowy roads playing with the handbrake . Only down side the German size beer crates didn't fit under the front hood so I gave up on it

I'd say this is the most awesome bug on the planet. Great build! =)

Fantastic! I think you had a jet on the runway. Thanks for this great video! I also enjoyed the other video of the classic engine swap!😀

"I built a monster....its so mental!" with that gleeful expression....😀...so satisfying!

Oh Wow :D Does need a big Tamiya sticker on it though...1:1 scale!

“Whatever it is it’s going to lose”. It took so long for the second car to cross the finish line it could have been in a separate video.

Love your work!

I am agreeing with you that is awesome I like the way that you are doing this and I always liked the V .W.Bettles thanks for posting this

i wanna know how much money he spent on it

Mate you need to bring this monster to Matt Watsons drag race.!!! You sir against petrol supercars ...I need to see it :D

As a freshman in college I didn't have a car and travelled between there and home with friends who did. Enter Peggy Mitchell and her 70-something Beetle. The car was stuffed with two in the front and three in the back for the 120 mile drive. If Peggy had this car the trip would have been a bit quicker and a lot more fun. She would have been down with that ride for sure man, it's groovy y'all

Mate, I like your new car set up it really flies! Keep up the good work Cheers!

Hi moggy, this was a brilliant engineering master piece. Could you tell me how much you spent on complete package of Tesla ie. Motor, battery etc?

11 second 1/4 mile is a fun ride, I used to have a 67 Bug ,built a 1835 CC dual port motor to race V8 cars from light to light ,but after 70 mph highly unstable 😳 I can see why you added the air dam and spoiler lol

This is awesome, absolutely insane.

Compliments for your build. I can't understand why VW do not sell anymore the Beetle; but I may be swayed because of my attachment to such iconic car - which I owned more than 40 years ago. Bravo...

absolutely the coolest. couple questions, or maybe a follow on video underneath the super kafer. interested in the bracket to hold the motor in as well as axle setup and the front end. also did you install a different steering box? or power steering! thanks again for sharing this amazing work!

I reckon the people that disliked this are Prius owners.

Brits saying aluminium cracks me up...ahloomeaneeum. made my day.

Watching from Jamaica west Indies, enjoying it very much, every interested in the new wave of electric vehicles !!

That’s insane, I’d like to see this against a much a faster car, build quality is inspiring.

Outstanding job! Not just the electric conversion, but also suspension, aero works, brakes and styling. Congrats! I wish Tesla motors were easy to find! And that “secret” right angle gearbox works awesome! Congrats!

What a sharp Beetle! Very nice work Bruv! ❤❤

Beautiful....just beautiful, Man!!!!

This car is absolute murder!!! I've made my own Beetle Hybrid, but a Tesla powered Beetle would be overkill to the max. Even more indulgent if it was dual motor.

I had a very similar looking silver Beetle with a twin port 1835cc in it with a lightened flywheel, Webers, mechanical dizzy etc, etc. Pulled up at the lights next to another Beetle and was left in it's dust. We pulled over up the road and he showed me the bridge ported rotary he had in his. I'd love to see his face if he came up against this :).

Really neat. This car looks inredibly clean and well done. I'd love to see one of theses with a full pan redone with a full size battery, (plus some extra cells), for 400 mile range.

Awesome creation there Richard.... impressive indeedy.

This car looks really funny 😅 I would always go for Tesla anytime.

you should put sticky tires on it and drag race on carwow

You just built my dream car... awesome!

OMG!! This is awesome!!

I think you and your teams skills are amazing. My questions relate to privacy; how does the software work? Can Tesla "see" and "control" this car remotely? Or is the software independent from Tesla? Is it open source? Or can another company remote control this car and/or disable it if they choose to? Does the software collect data and send it to software owners like Tesla cars do?

Well, this is absolutely brilliant! When does the mass production begin?

I pressed the Like button 99 times! What a beast! Attention to detail is brilliant. Congrats again Richard.

I love this Beetle! People in my town would loose their minds if I ran this beauty in traffic!

Love the spoiler!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm, if only all Beetles were like that!

Thats really good power acceleration for old car like that because them old automobiles are usually heavier build back then than todays autos and thats a good job on that beetle restore and upgrade nice job.

Great work guys!!

hey moggy, good job mate!!!

yeah well my 67 still gets rubber in first gear.

Really love your vw beetle. Love from 🍁 canada

That is such a amazing job on this beetle

Porsche drivers ...... be afraid ...... very afraid 😟

I love it as an engineering piece. Really well executed as are all your cars. I'd love you to do a car for me. The 70s beetle and the paint combo are butt ugly though imo. I'd really like to see a Jag Mk10 or something like that done like this. You could hide a LOT of batteries in a big car like that and not lose any aesthetic.

It definitely has some presence, good job

Prety amazing man... I love that beetle,perfect swab project and you are made it..super Awesom..

Back in the day I could get 90mph out of my stock beetle on a long steep hill and with enough time.

I've seen this car in a few channels now. My new favourite. I'd love to do this with my mk1 Seat Arosa project!

That was awesome man !

Lol, audio when you’re inside the car made me think I was talking on my headset in my buddies plane. Nice touch!
