What happens when you take a classic icon and inject it with modern performance? You get this wild 1976 Volkswagen Beetle, now powered by a 2.5L Subaru turbo engine. This is not your average Beetle—it’s a head-turning, turbocharged powerhouse wrapped in vintage charm.
The unmistakable silhouette of the Beetle remains intact, but underneath lies a performance heart that delivers an exhilarating driving experience. The 2.5L Subaru turbo engine provides a serious punch, transforming this Bug into something entirely different from the laid-back classic most expect. It’s quick, responsive, and guaranteed to make you grin every time you hit the accelerator.
Inside, you’re greeted by a full leather interior that adds a touch of luxury to this performance machine. The cabin also features a hidden sound system, giving you crisp, clean audio without compromising the classic look and feel.
Mechanically, she’s been given the attention she deserves. Suspension and brake upgrades have been carried out, ensuring the car not only goes fast but also handles and stops with confidence.
Externally, the car retains its classic appeal, but it doesn’t take long to realize this Beetle is something special. The stance, the sound, and the performance give it away immediately. Whether you’re cruising through town or surprising fellow motorists on the open road, this turbocharged Bug refuses to go unnoticed.
A proper mix of old-school charm and modern-day thrills, this Beetle is for someone who appreciates classic design but craves something a little… spicier.

★★★★★ - A True Sanctuary for Classic Car Enthusiasts I recently had the pleasure of visiting Wat Swaai Jy and was absolutely blown away. This isn't just a dealership; it's a museum where every car tells a story. From impeccably restored muscle cars to perfectly preserved European grand tourers, their inventory is diverse and of the highest quality. What truly sets them apart is the expertise and genuine passion of the staff, not only about the mechanics and history of the vehicles but also about the provenance and market value. There was zero pressure—just honest, excited discussion about classic cars. If you're serious about finding a rare, high-quality classic, or just want to spend an afternoon admiring automotive history, Wat Swaai Jy is the definitive place to go. A truly world-class operation.
