of Motor Trend. I think it was from last year. They were talking about a performance shop (I think it was in Canada) that had put the Audi S4 2.7 bi-turbo V6 and AWD system in the Beetle and gotten (I recall) 503 hp. They could do the same upgrades to a TT since it is real similar to the beetle. I don't remeber it being $65,000... but it sounds about right for cost of the vehicle plus the swap and (maybe) labor. Sure, that's a lot of money... especially since you could pick up a sweet Z06 for less... but a beetle that'll perform like a Porsche 911 turbo would make for an awesome sleeper. I'd rather do it to the TT and drive the beetle off of a cliff.
