VW Beetle RS







VW is coming out w/ a new Beetle and it looks like more than just VDub fans are excited about the bug. VWVortex has tuned the new 2012 bug and given it the look of its more athletic cousin, a Porsche GT3 RS. If imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, the 911 must be feeling a pretty good about itself (probably not, actually). While this is not the real RS that VW will release, the VWVortex version's got a little more power, performance, the sticker letters, and most importantly, the SHOES!

Rolling on orange dubs! 245/35/20s to be exact.

Pretty cool concept. Ferdinand Porsche was the original designer of the 911 as well as the original beetle, so its kinda nice that a tuner group would tie the two together. The old beetle was also referred to as the "Poor man's Porsche", probably more for the rear-engine RWD layout as opposed to both looking like bugs (one squashed and one inflated). Well still, if you could stretch these VW pictures, cover an eye, and squint really hard, you might really think its a GT3 RS.


I bet with some computer editing, I can make that first picture look just like one. With a little help from photoshop, I can get rid of the background, I'll just stretch out this image, apply some blur, do a little thingy majiggery, sharpen...and voila! There you go, Dip stickers! Check it out:



What do you think?! I even added some orange scaffolding and mirrors to match. You're welcome.
