Jean Fourie and his company 3L Engineering in Cape Town, South Africa spent three years developing their V8 Stealth Beetle. The finished project featured an aluminum chassis and Audi V8 we shared earlier this year. Now the company is offered a limited number of kits that allow owners to build their mid-engine V8 powered Beetle/Bug with full independent suspension in either RHD or LHD. The kit is made to work with the Audi V8 (3.8 L or 4.2 L) and Getrag/Audi six-speed manual transmission. They are selling the kit for $18,500 until Dec 25, 2018 and you can read more details or order here. Listen as Jean explains the kit below.
