Tesla powered Super Beetle at Supercar Fest
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
We took our Tesla powered VW 1303 Beetle to Supercar Fest to entertain the crowds and fight amongst the big boys. With plenty of Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mclaren and Bugatti supercars and hypercars, find out if our Beetle, and Land Rover Defender held their own amongst such exotica.
We also take a walk around the Classic Car auction and pick out our favourites.

The Defender taking off like a rocket was one of the most hilarious things I have ever seen 🤣
If you could get TRACTION that Beetle would likely beat everything there. And man, that Land Rover took off like a shot, eh? Surprised many people I'm sure.
Grinning from ear to ear watching this, getting the beetle to grip and pull like the landy would be awesome to see. 👍❤️🇬🇧
10:19 The way that Defender torqued its chassis to one side off the line!!!! 😮 🥰 😍
Twice lays a massive smokescreen across the track - “the tyres are getting a little bit bald now”. No kidding!😳

Excellent video lads, nice to see a little bug blow the doors off the fancy stuff, plus all the smoke keeps the mosquitoes away. The Land Rover what a lovely Sunday cruiser 🤣
Beetle was expected, Defender was out of syllabus 😂
And I thought the Beatle was funny then Old Land Rover v Ferrari 🤣 😂 😄 😆 🤣 next ten years old ice will be classic bio fuel few old things. 😉 All those new crazy futuristic electric cars. Running renewable energy 😁😄😃🌏💚 Good job 👏 👌 👍

First time we had our i3S thought 2 motors in the rear 1 motor up frount. The i3M BMW should make.
Looks like great fun was had by all. Enjoy the burnouts and seeing that awesome 2002tii.
I've always been a fan of classic lotus cars but i have always loved the lotus Carlton it's my dream car

The beetle was by far the best car there and the defender 4x4
An electric vehicle where the engine makes a cool sound that's loud enough to hear it will probably help convert more people. Some electric motorbikes have this, I hope one day cars will too.

It's fun to watch when older people do burnouts, but silly when younger people do it, because younger people tend to skin the tires until there is nothing left... When you drive rear-wheel-driven car, the test is to put so much torque that the front goes airborne... With petrol powered '73 Beetle I was able to climb up a tree without pressing gas pedal at all... I noticed the same as in other videos, that when shifting from first to second and second to third, there is slight slipping. It's quite obvious as normally it's not required to shift to fourth, so with third gear, there is no slipping anymore... I had a newer car that did slip with three lowest gears, but then went smoothly after that.

For a gasoline car to go faster they seem to need to burn gasoline very quickly to do so. For an electric vehicle to accelerate more quickly is there a big difference in how quickly it uses up the batteries or is the difference not as big as a gasoline engine?
Cool video and cars

My very quick gogoro 2 e-scooter they programmed the acceleration so it doesn't burn rubber but accelerates as quickly as possible. I prefer it over something set to burn your tires away. Is it possible to program your tesla powered car to accelerate as quickly as possible without burning rubber? Also ever thought of converting your beetle to AWD so it can get up to speed faster?

I just don’t get the attraction of burning rubber. Seems puerile to me. Kind of screws your green credentials too.
This electric "supercars" spinning tyres, smoking like hell without a sound is disturbing. First time I could hear the sound of the tyres rubbing on the asphalt, normally the sound of the engine is so much louder. Next time when you make a drag-race show your opponent. For me it´s interesting to see how much faster you were. Nice thing with the prices from the auction cars.
Again, what's with you brits not wearing sunglasses? I'd rather stick them on my head than squint all the time

Hey mate burning rubber is an silly American thing you should have just blown the doors off those overpriced super cars.
It's not very smart to create an awesome electric vehicle that doesn't have a gas guzzling, polluting petrol engine, then spoil it all by deliberately burning tyres and creating stinking toxic smoke! I can't understand the mindless fascination with burnouts. It's actually illegal under air pollution laws in most countries!
