Volkswagen Beetle Goes 205.122 MPH!

[Luccia at Pelican Parts]

At Bonneville Speed Week this year there were some amazing records set. Believe it or not, this Beetle hasn't been swapped with the typical LS, but actually has a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder engine that came from a '14 Beetle Turbo R-Line. It is now considered the worlds fastest VW Beetle. That is some MPH to beat! Pretty amazing if I do say so. What do you think?

Fairly sure most Beetles with that 210hp 2.0T do not hit 200mph instead of the quoted 141mph for the engine source, the '14 Beetle Turbo R-Line.

More details please.

Although it has that engine, it has been built (upgraded internals, head and turbos) and puts down around 543 hp, which more than doubles the output of the stock engine.
