Hello my Friend!
Make authentic driving great again!
That is my motto.
I am a german car driver with 20 + years of driving experience and as you could have guessed: I love cars. I show you how I drive from my POV with two onboard cams. There is “no speedlimit“ for me, only the limit of the car can stop me. I demonstrate acceleration tests ( 0-100 kph / 0-200 kph / 100-200 kph / 200-300 kph ), high-speed-runs and test drives on the German Autobahn / Deutsche Autobahn. With my videos I want to give you a real and raw driving experience with all type of cars (manual, automatic, electric, hybrid) and all the noises that come with it. So let‘s find out how fast I can drive, shall we? But I have one last message for you: Please don‘t test your limits on the streets when you don‘t know what you are doing. Before I film, I make sure that the car is safe. So please do that as well and stay safe, my friend. So what do you think about this car? Let me know down in the comment section! Like and subscribe for more videos 😊

Hola amigo,
Haz que la conducción auténtica vuelva a ser colosal otra vez !
Este es mi lema.
Soy un conductor de automóviles alemán con más de 20 años de experiencia como conductor y como habrás adivinado: me encantan los automóviles. Te muestro cómo conduzco desde mi punto de vista con dos cámaras a bordo. No hay "límite de velocidad" para mí, solo el límite del automóvil puede detenerme. Demuestro pruebas de aceleración (0-100 kph / 0-200 kph / 100-200 kph / 200-300 kph), así como pilotaje a alta velocidad y pruebas de conducción en la autopista alemana / Deutsche Autobahn. Con mis videos quiero brindarte una experiencia de pilotaje real y realista con todo tipo de coches (manual, automático, eléctrico, híbrido) y todos los ruidos que lo acompañan. Entonces, averigüemos qué tan rápido puedo conducir, ¿de acuerdo? Pero tengo un último mensaje para ti: por favor, no pruebes tus límites en las carreteras cuando no sabes lo que estás haciendo. Antes de filmar, me aseguro de que el automóvil sea seguro. Así que por favor amigo, haz eso también y mantente a salvo. Entonces, ¿qué piensas de este coche? ¡Házmelo saber en la sección de comentarios! Dale me gusta y suscríbete para más videos 😊

It's much more interesting for me, seeing a VW Beetle speeding on the german autobahn, than the 395237597235th Lamborghini on other channels.
Exactly, especially if that Beetle is bone stock not heavily tuned!
The same...
@@Messergebnis-liebhaber Yes. For me watching stock cars are much more interesting than something like a BMW M5 tuned to 700 hp or else.
Thanks! I appreciate the fact that you liked my car being driven by this awesome driver! And yes, the car is a bone stock 1600i that is swapped on to a 1970’ chassis. I’m actualy the second owner of this car since 1970
@@echo8828 I'm glad that we both think the same way!
The boxer engine sounds heavenly. ❤️
thanks for uploading this video. my dad had a 1973 bug in hokkaido , japan. he drove the bug from 1980〜1990, but i was born, he changed a car for me because of coldness in winter. actually i took a cold frequently😅 old bug is very memorial for me.
Driving with such a roof rack and suitcase on it reduces the top speed by at least 15 km/h. I already drove the odometer off my 1972 1200, always having to go full throttle on the highway
Ich war nie ein Käfer Fan, aber es ist richtig toll ein altes Auto so gut erhalten zu sehen!
Have a look at how hard the Audi A6 that appears in the side mirror at 9:25 has to fight to beat this awesome Beetle! After passing it, the Audi immediately has to brake to cool down!
Todavía está en forma!!! 👏👏👏👏 Saludos desde Mallorca.
My 1971 Ghia with the same motor and gearing has no problems reaching 140kmh, but then Ghias are much better aerodynamically than Beetles and the roof rack on this one must be slowing it down markedly.
I would definitely smile all the way up if I were at the passenger seat of this ride😊. Anyway what a cheerful video.
My Dad used to say, to kill the boxer engine of a Beetle you have to hit it with a big, big hammer... 😂
What a nice car! 🙏 thanks for the video
It is surprisingly quiet at highway speeds. I guess that is the benefit of not having an exhaust running underneath you.
Imagine my first car, built in 1959, 6V - Batterie, 30 PS, I bought it for 500 German Mark, but it ran ran ran. Never had difficulties with my car, only in wintertime my coat was the heating. I should have kept it !
Quick for 44hp😳
Because is very light weight, it barely weights under 775 kilograms, less than 3/4 of a ton, and its Beetle design is very aerodynamic.
I think they're 810kg or so, if memory serves (at least my 1200L is I think)@@cardenassolisrodrigo2601
in fact the 1600 has 67hp
44hp is the Vw1300
@@cardenassolisrodrigo2601It is not as aerodynamic due to the windshield being straighter.
I was stationed in Germany with the US Army from 1965 to 1967. I had a US spec 1965 VW, 1200 cc with much lesspower than the 1970 version in this video. I routinely tried to see how long I could drive on the autobahn without taking my throttle foot off the floor. At some point between Karlsruhe and Stuttgart, going down a long grade I saw 90 mph. Converting that to kph, it was 145 compared to the 130 kph I saw in this video, The car was perfectly stable at that speed.
Hello, Im from Mexico, VW Beetle or "Vocho" were very popular here before 2000s An Uncle had a 1997 model with the 1600cc engine. We took it to a trip and it reached 150 Km/h at some point with 5 people in it
SPTM eran 5 xD
A mi también me ha tocado viajar por la carretera a Querétaro en un vocho a 140 km/h y se comporta muy bien. Son carros excelentes.
@@jarriolag1967 sabía que son carros excelentes, lástima que en México todavía no reparan bien sus carreteras
nice to see a beetle in its home element, going up and down the autobahn at silly speeds
Mein Opa hatte damals nen Käfer mit 1300ccm und 34PS. Der im Video ist dagegen eine Rakete ;-)
Sorry, aber da stimmt so einiges nicht! Den 1600i gab es erst ab 1992, um durch die Einspritzung einen geregelten Kat zu ermöglichen. Er hatte auch nicht 44 PS, sondern 46 PS. Der normale 1600er Motor mit Vergaser hatte 50 PS. Den gab es zwar ab 1970, aber nur im 1302 S und später im 1303 S, und nicht im hier gezeigten Standardmodell mit kurzem Vorderwagen. Der hatte maximal den 1500er mit 44 PS. Außerdem ist die Innenausstattung von einem neueren Modell und nicht von 1970. Also handelt es sich entweder um eine vollkommen verbastelte Kiste, oder der Autor des Videos hat es nicht einmal für nötig befunden, ein paar Minuten im Internet zu recherchieren...
Without all that crap on the roof it might have reached 140 km/h... 😂
mine's a 1979 1200L (Brazilian import). Top speed 125 km/h, but less acceleration than this. And I'd only ever do 80 in 3rd. Pained me watching you do 100 in 3rd...
1300. The Brazilian Fusca 1200 with 36 cv was manufactured in Brazil from 1954 until 1967 when it was replaced by the 1300 with 46 cv. And in 1970 the 1500 engine arrived with 52 cv and in 1975 the Super Fuscâo arrived with the 1600 S with 65 cv. Greetings from Brazil! NOTE: Unfortunately, Brazil neve had the Fusca with an injected engine...Only in the Brazilian Kombi from 1997 to 2005 did the 1600 have an injected engine. And Brazil was the last country to manufacture the Boxer engine in 2005 around the world.
I'm sure you think you're clever, copy pasting something you read. But my VW is still a 1979 1200L from Brazil, so either the car doesn't exist or wikipedia is wrong.@@riobonito
@@juchetony1910 Not from Wikipedia! My mom has one Fusca 1300 year 1976.
I have never dragged my 3rd gear to 100kph yet. I should try one day. 😂 Surprised there is fuel injected Beetle in 1970.
😍
1600i (Fuel Injection) en 1970? Que yo sepa, fue a partir del 92.
The 1600er with Full Injektion has 46 PS because he has a catalist! But 1970? The 1303 has Full Injektion and 1600ccm in the US
Isn't that a 90's mexican version?
That's a Mexican beetle with an old style steering wheel put on! Look at the seats, switch gear, door cards.
Das ist ein Käfer im Top-Zustand. Sogar ein zerstörter Käfer ist besser als ein neuer Tesla S Plaid!
A 1970 Beetle with a 1600i engine, I suppouse that's an original 1970 Beetle with an engine swap, with a 1600 Fuel Injection engine from a mexican Beetle from the 90's or 2000's isn't it?
It is a late 1990s Beetle on an older 1970s chassis, with new technic and some old details
How? Only 44hp in a 1,6 liter engine in the 70s? Not the same 1.6 boxer which had the Porsche 356A and 356B?
No, it is a 4 cylinder boxer but it is completely different. The idea that a Beetle engine is completely interchageable with a Porsche engine is just an urban myth. Around the same time Mercedes made 2 liter diesel engines with just 55hp.
Same engine as the 356, just less powerful.
They are the same basic design, but still completely different engines. Except for the very first 356, which have an 1131cc 25hp Beetle engine. But some of the most interesting Beetle models made actually had Porsche engines. In 1939 Ferdinand Porsche modified 14 Beetle prototypes with Porsche engines. One of them got the same kind of engine as the Porsche Type 64. It is also the only known surviving of the 14 cars and it currently lives at the Prototype Museum in Hamburg.@@louiejonesponation
@@squid667 They're overall the same engines. The Porsche 356 along with many four cylinder Porsches have VW Air Cooled Engines. The 356 and 912 having Type 1 VW Engines, and the Porsche 912E and 914 having VW Type 4 Engines. The engines are the exact same. One thing as well is that cars can have the same displacement, but engine modifications that might bring up the BHP.
I'm seeing and hearing Kraftwerk
1:13 sure, flat four😂
sounds like subaru!
Doesn't sound anything like a Subaru. The Beetle Engine was made way before Subaru was even a company, and way before Subaru started making boxer engines. If anything, Subarus sound like Air Cooled Volkswagens.
@louiejonesponation sure, I talk not about timeline, but about similar geometry of exhaust and firing pattern of pistons, which causes sound similar to turbo subaru
Not too sure if that's a 1600I. The 1600I was built in Mexico in the late 80s through to 2003.
My '67 1500 would run 90mph (145 kph)
No way this has only 44ps! I hear a whinning! Could be supercharged??
es el un curioso zumbido que hace la turbina que enfría el motor
120-130 is the factory speed with stock engine
The whine is the cooling fan on the engine. The manual usually lists 130kmh as top speed for the 1600 cars.
Dear friends. Undoubtedly the VW beetle was the best car in his era in the category of small cars.But please do not accelerate his engine in that way it is air-cooled.We have in Greece -Athens the VW 1303 with 1600c.c,speed between 90-100max.If the engine AS 1600c.c working well and has oil no problem in long journey if you stop for a few minutes after 200km distance,the engine never has problems.
yes, 4000 rpm should be your max (they redline at 4500), which equates to 115 km/h in this. And if it's hot, drop that to 3500. Do that and the engine will live for ever (mine is 45 years old and still the original engine).
@@juchetony1910The VW air-cooled engine no need hard acceleration,if you travel particularly summer, generally needs a speed between 90-110 km/h if you want to overpass another car no more(1600 c.c engine)than 120-130km for one-two minutes,again 90-110km/h.Also most important to check the oil before to travel."And..HERBY WILL TRANSPORT US EVERYWHERE FOR EVER"!!!
I've owned one for 25 years.@@pavloschatziergatis9464
Fuel gauge very slowly going down...
That is a very slow bug. My 1952 Zwitter can go that fast. Just so the Americans know that speedometer is in Kilometers per hour

Hahaha! I forgot to ask you if you found the revlimiter that day😂 but judged by the second 0-100pull: you did found it at 4750rpm😂 very nice video and very much thank you for that awesome day! I feel a bit sorry for the lack of airconditioning as the temperature was very, very high that day! And by the way, you managed to get it slightly over 130kph and so beat me🫣😏
Thank you again for that great day and the opportunity to drive your awesome car. I didn't notice the revlimiter. Maybe I switched the gear on that exact point? 😂 But you know your car way better than me. Don't worry about the high temperature inside. I think it has to be exactly that way for the right vintage experience 😂
