1000HP Front Engine BMW M50 Powered VW BEETLE Drag & Track by turboandstance - June 27, 2024June 27, 2024 Another video with a car using the BMW M50 power plant. This time it is the MST Racing VW Beetle. It is running a built M50 Engine, with a Holset HX50 turbo, and a Liberty 5 speed box. It has a best time of 8.3 at 158mph. Filmed at Dragracefest in Hungary, where track conditions were very slippery, as you can see from how it struggled all the way down the track to put the power down. Best time recorded was a 10.00 at 147mph for the 1/4 mile and a 6.98 at 114mph for the 1/8th mile. Leave a comment
