I wouldn’t give 1K for a bug with a water cooled V8 motor.
You can get 300hp out of a air cooled porsche 911 motor and it will fit in a bug way better than that ridiculous monstrosity in the article.

AGREED ! , A 351W is too heavy ,,, I used to race with someone that had a Porsche 356C converted to wankel 13B power and just the added weight of the cooling system ruined it ... it was pretty close to 250hp and would have weighed less than Newmanns bug... A V8 bug would have been a novelty ,, but it really wasn’t a huge stretch of the imagination,, he just copied what people were doing with the 65+ Chevy Corvairs , converting them to V8 power with a SBC in the back seat area.. Give me a modern Porsche anyday...
