The V8stealthbeetle was originally intended to be a once off VW bug v8 engine swap, a personal project car for engineer Jean Fourie. However, the remarkable interest created by our youTube channel along with the decision to design and fabricate our own unique high quality (5182) aluminium chassis, we decided to build these bespoke VW Beetles to order. We also decided to offer just the chassis and components to allow like-minded petrol heads around the globe to fulfil their childhood dreams of building their own mid-engine V8 powered VW Bug. By adapting the chassis to accept the Chevrolet LS3 6.2 litre crate engine, we now have a recipe that any V8 fan will enjoy driving or building.
