Restomod 1973 VW Beetle

The VW Beetle is the legendary car of the German giant and perhaps the company’s most famous car. It was produced from 1938 until 2003, and almost 16 million units left the production lines. The car was designed by Ferdinand Porsche, yes the same one who founded Porsche AG. It is still popular in some parts of the world, such as Cuba, and the German vintage car restoration company, Memminger, turned one into a truly remarkable car.

As a base, the company took a 1973 VW Beetle 1303 and installed an air-cooled 2.7L boxer with 175 hp (129 kW) and 192 lb-ft (260 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with a new 5-speed manual transmission with longer gear ratios. The company did not reveal the car’s performance, but a top speed of around 200 km/h is mentioned.

The car is finished in Oak Green over light brown leather that covers the interior. It is equipped with reinforced adjustable suspension, upgraded brakes, more open stainless steel exhaust system, Recaro seats, sports steering wheel, two-tone Fuchs alloy wheels.

The Memminger company was founded by Georg Memming, and due to their successful business and outstanding car transformations, they are often compared to one of the best restomod companies in the world, Singer.

Opel Kadett GSi with 900 HP

Drag races are something we often see, where various modified super powerful cars compete against each other, and at the recent Race1000 held in Germany, a very interesting car appeared, the Opel Kadett GSi with 900 HP.

This model was produced between 1984 and 1991 when it was succeeded by the Opel Astra. It was stylish for its time and was offered in several petrol and diesel options, with the GSi at the top of the range.

Opel Kadett GSi is powered by a 2.0L 4-cylinder 16V Turbo engine with 900 hp, and the power is sent to the front wheels. It is equipped with a large intercooler that is located behind the front bumper, while the rest of the car does not have any additional aerodynamic components. At least we couldn’t see them.

The car was awarded the title of the fastest front-wheel drive car, reaching a speed of 298 km/h (). How powerful this car is can be seen in a clash with two very powerful sports cars, the Dodge Challenger and the McLaren 720S. None of them had any chance against this beast.

In the first race, the Dodge Challenger had no chance against the Opel Kadett. Challenger achieved a time of 20.524 seconds, which is more than 3 seconds slower than Kadett (17.371 seconds). In the second race, the McLaren 720 S had a bad start and lost with a time of 17.777 seconds, which is 0.6 seconds slower than the Opel (17.110 seconds).
