Although the Audi isn’t stock, neither is it the bug.
A Audi RS3 dragracing a Volkswagen Beetle looks like a very lopsided match-up. This is not a newer Beetle that has a turbocharged engine. The quarter-mile race will see a Bug racing a modern RS3, with the Audi being modified to match.
We’ve seen white VW Beetles upset underdogs before. It was even the subject of a number of Disney movies. You can learn everything you need to know about Herbie the hero 53 Beetle with racing stripes who conquered every obstacle, from NASCAR to stage rally, to NASCAR. This video is from Drag Racing and Car Stuff on YouTube. Although it doesn’t have stripes but maybe it’s Herbie disguised. We don’t have any information about the cars beyond what you can see in this video. We are certain that neither car is stock, as both heard the turbo whistle from one another. We can inform you that the track is Gainsville Raceway, Florida. The racing takes place at low altitude in dense, oxygen-rich air.
The Audi sidesteps the water box. All-wheel drive is possible with a Beetle in next lane. There’s no need for a burnout or to give the tires a test run. Herbie begins to talk up with a slight burnout. This is also when the freaking wheelsie bar appears. The RS3 supports Herbie and lays down a test run after all. We think the Audi driver also saw it.
This video’s ending will not be spoilt. An old VW Beetle on a track wouldn’t belong in a normal universe. This is Herbie’s world and the Bug becomes mean when the light turns green. The Audi’s five-cylinder engine is a marvel, and we have to give it all the respect. Let’s just say that the Beetle pulled a car on the RS3 launch, despite having all-wheel drive. Both cars can run a quarter-mile in ten seconds.
