EURO lowrider VW bug

its supposed to roll. thats why there are roll bars coming out of the sides. It rolls on its roof with 2 flicks of the switch at 60 volts. dont have it on film though.

What year is it? Late 60's? I think it should've had an IRS rear then? What's the driveline now?

Cool, is it still a rear wheel drive ?
Do you use chains for transmision, or it just doesn't run ?

BTW it wouldn't be too difficult to make it radio controlled, it would give the operator more freedom for movement. ;)

here are a couple more links of it:
these are at the ESSEN MOTORSHOW- the largest tuning/car show of germany--- equal to the SEMA show of the U.S. on a euro level.

just thought I would post a link to the vid from a friends car that I did a majority(85%) of the build on. It has 4 competition pumps, 20 batteries- built to run 60 volts. In the video it is only running 36 volts to keep from too much damage to the motors. took over 5 weeks of pure work this last summer to build.

This is what some of my hobbies are here in Germany. hate it if you will, but it is always a great party after the shows!!

enjoy if you would like.
