The Bugster 9.03<\/a> project was built over 10 years ago by CarMaxx Classics<\/a> located in Hirtenberg, Austria. The unique car resurfaced and is for sale at Schroeder-Classics<\/a> in Stuttgart, Germany for \u20ac195,000. CarMaxx Classics spent two years installing a 1973 Volkswagen Beetle 1303 body over a 2000 Porsche Boxster S chassis. The conversion gave the classic appearance with a fully independent suspension and performance disc brakes. The 3.2 L M96 flat-six made 266 horsepower and paired with a six-speed manual transaxle.
