Car Videos: VW Beetle thrashes Porsche 911
We’ve been trawling the web for some classic motoring clips, from the funny to the plain unbelievable. This is what we found… Volkswagen Beetle thrashes Porsche 911 Jeremy Clarkson is forever ridiculing Top Gear co-host Richard Hammond for buying a Porsche 911 – a car Clarkson describes as a Volkswagen Beetle. But the Top Gear stars would have been amazed this week to hear a 1965 Volkswagen Beetle had out-sprinted a Porsche 911 in quarter-mile drag race. In a scene which could have been taken right out of Disney’s The Love Bug, the 42-year-old Vee Dub does the quarter-mile in 11.04 seconds, leaving the 911 and its 13.18 second sprint for dead. But it’s not a typical Beetle. Bournemouth-based Turbo Dynamics fitted it with a turbocharged 2.3-litre engine to give it devastating performance. Watch as the bonkers Beetle annihilates the Stuttgart-built supercar.

In this video, we show even world class rally drivers aren’t immune to wintry conditions. |
