Driving to the grocery store I saw a new VW Beetle with a ram hood. WTF?!

Not only was it hideous, but I fail to see how you can "ram" air into the vents on a circular hood.

It was just all wrong. Wish I had my camera with me.

Do the new beetles an engine in the front? Or like the older ones from the 70's, rear engine?

New Beetles are built on the Golf platform. Forward engine.

Click if you\'re a masochist!


Good thing it wasn't both, right? lol Apparently there are a couple of places that sell CAIs for VW Beetles for .. quite alot. Almost three hundred dollars.

Wish I could find an online pic of the hood I saw. The vents were so big it was kind of like a cartoonish raptor hood off a trans am.

Having CAI is ok. It could add 4 HP. Ram hood is ok as long as it is conservative.
If it is huge, unpainted and doesn’t go with the contour of the car then

boooooo!!!
