1963 Volkswagen Beetle Ragtop Drag Race

This is a video of an ultimate tricked out old school 1963 Volkswagen Bettle Rag Top at the 2005 Bugjam. There are a few drags of the souped up Bettle versus the new Beetle, and even against a Subaru Impreza turbo.

No idea what’s in this Beetle, I heard you could put a Porsche or a Subaru engine in it since they’re all boxers. Video is after the jump.

Jiangling Landwind X6 Crash Test by TUV

This is TUV’s crash test video of the Jiangling Landwind X6. Bear in mind this is after Jiangling had made some adjustments to the SUV, and this test was conducted at a lower speed of 54km/h instead of 64km/h. Still looks like a disaster to me, although TUV says all’s good and the SUV passes. I wonder why Jiangling wants to sue ADAC?
