[s-cars] NAC - 400 HP VW Beetle on Audi TT chassis

[Robert Rossato]

It was the Beetle RSi that I was referring to, but for the life of me I
couldn't remember the correct name this morning when I sent it out.  I
knew it had the 3.2L VR6 so R32 was the only thing coming to mind,
though I had a sneaking suspicion that it was wrong.  Ten minutes after
I sent it out I remembered the proper name.  Sorry for the confusion.

I know about the Beetle Cup and the Beetle RSI, but have not heard of
the R32 Beetle.

TT, Beetle- it's not a Beetle chassis with a TT floorpan or whatever.
All A4 chassis cars
have a lot of interchangeable parts. Who is to say that it's not a Golf
4Motion floorpan? 

As far as conversions go, Bob is correct- no one is going to chop up an
RSI just for an
AWD conversion, so it is a lot more likely that the HPA Beetle uses
either TT or Golf 4Motion
AWD parts.

With the exception of the Europe only $50k Beetle R32, there are no AWD
Beetle chassis, so it is a TT chassis.  Or at least floorpan.
