Correct me if I'm wrong, but, didn't Herbie have some real nice luxuries to help him along for racing purposes?, I thought that I had read somewhere that Porsche provided him with the suspension parts and most importantly the engine that allowed him to do so well, as it would seem a slight doubtful that (and while I have all the faith in him in the world) Herbie couldn't have performed as well with VWs small Air-Cooled engine and 4 spd Manual. |

Herbie is the star for the whole Herbie series. He is a 1963 Volkswagen Beetle (type 1) ragtop. An unmodified beetle could probably only reach 80 or 90 mph. Of course, this is no ordinary beetle! |

EMPI did instal a Porsche 912 motor in the car used for the racing scenes. Along with the standard vw 4 spd trans(Porsches had 4 spds too). Porsche 356 brakes, lowered suspension, EMPI camber compensators, Superior control arms, 3 point harness, a roll bar, and 15x6 widened wheel round out the package. And don't doubt that a stock beetle could perform as a race car. There were racing series in the 50s and 60s that that would accomidate stock VWs. And there were races of all Beetles during that time too. |
