Volkswagen Beetle 2008
Your inner hippie meets your inner bully.
The powerful 150 hp New Beetle. The peace pod on wheels now has a little nasty under the hood. Its mighty robust 2.5L engine cranks with V6 strength, giving it 170 beefy lbs-ft of torque. And a boastful 0 to 100 km/h time of 8.9 seconds.*
So you can flex some muscle on highway onramps. Just remember, in a time where rage is all the rage, dare to be happy. And use your horsepower for good. Peace.
