Saw 3 of these Infinities in Sacramento this AM. All the logos were blacked out, Michigan manufacturer plates

Paul Newman's
Mid-Engine V8 Volkswagen Beetle

V8 VW commissioned by Paul Newman v2.4.3 23Jan2010

Quote:
One of my favorite kinds of automobile is a "sleeper," a car that looks ordinary and looks low performance but actually has lots of horsepower and terrific handling. Paul Newman's V8 VW was an excellent example that I had a lot of fun with. Externally, it looked like a VW Bug, except the wheel bolt pattern was Chevy 5 on 4-3/4, and the two stock-location tailpipes were rather large. If you looked behind the front seats, you noticed a large upholstered cover instead of a rear seat. If you looked underneath the car, you saw a widened oil pan in the middle and three air scoops. Hidden inside was a custom-built suspension and a mid-engine Ford V8 for fantastic handling and acceleration. The car was fully streetable and street legal.

No, it's a 1956 Karmann Ghia
