VW Beetle - Lite (VWBL)

logo for VW Beetle - Lite
A little buggy that packs a big punch, the Volkswagen Beetle Lite crosses asphalt and gravel effortlessly. An adaptation of the Beetle, that dominated rallycross in North America for most of the past decade, the Beetle Lite's engine has been reduced to 300 horsepower to enable drivers to learn the skills that will make them quick in rallycross without being overpowered by the turbo power of the Supercar. This Volkswagen Beetle features a retro form that pays homage to the original Volkswagen Type 1, the longest-running and most-manufactured car of a single platform ever made.
