B & B tuning: VW Beetle convertible with 380 PS and 20 Zöllern

VW has known to set the Beetle! Created in 1934 by Ferdinand Porsche as a KdF-Wagen and launched on the market as Volkswagen in 1945, it was the ultimate model for the "New Beetle" presented in 1997. This came with round shapes and was strongly reminiscent of its predecessor, including the iconic flower vase in the cockpit. But the sympathies and the number of pieces were difficult to keep within limits. Reason enough for VW to pull the ripcord in 2018 and crush the Beetle. But now, as a tribute to the last Beetle models built, the tuner B&B is coming with an extensive service package for the reload "cult beetle". The tuning is special for vehicles with the 2.0 TSI engine that B & B brings in 4 power levels up to 380 PS and 525 Nm. Compared to the series with 220 HP / 350 Nm, this is of course a huge difference. The acceleration time from 0 to 100 km / h sinks to 5,2 seconds (series: 6,7) and the 0-200 value of 17,8 seconds is even more powerful than the series of 25,8.

And of course the top speed also increases significantly. The Beetle is now over 250 km / h instead of the previous maximum 231. B & B achieves the increase in performance by means of a special turbocharger with enlarged intake, there is a high-performance intercooler and a racing exhaust system with sports catalytic converter is now installed. For this purpose, the intake and the air duct are processed and the boost pressure is increased at the same time. In connection with an adaptation of the injection maps and the DSG transmission, the upgrade is complete to bring the Mucki-Beetle onto the slopes. And so that the engine will give pleasure for a long time, B&B has also installed a special oil cooling system that enables the oil temperature to be reduced by up to 25 °. The other power levels are 206 kW / 280 PS & 410 Nm as Stage 1, 220 kW / 300 PS & 430 Nm as Stage 2 and 240 kW / 326 PS & 460 Nm are with Stage 3 realized. Incidentally, each power level eliminates the lifting of the Vmax limitation and B&B has an electronic adaptation to the additional power especially for vehicles with DSG transmission.

4 performance levels are currently available

In order to further reduce the exhaust gas back pressure and lower the exhaust gas temperature, the tuner can also supply a special downpipe with a sports catalytic converter, which enables an additional output of approx. By the way, if you are not interested in the B & B sports exhaust system from Kat, you can alternatively order a special sound system (from EUR 11.-). This can be controlled by remote control and enables various background sounds up to a V15 racing sound. However, this eliminates the possibility of an additional 1.498 KW / 8 PS. The B & B racing exhaust system with metal catalytic converter makes this possible. And B&B also makes a lot of things possible visually and at the same time improves the driving characteristics of the Wolfsburg. The tuner uses a sport spring set to lower the vehicle by about 15 mm and if that's not enough, simply install the optional B & B / KW coilover kit of variant 20 and then adjust the Beetle's suspension individually in rebound and compression.

And so that the load comes to a safe stop again, B&B also has a high-performance brake system at the start. At the front, the tuner installs 342 mm brake discs and the system is then compatible with the original 18 inch Beetle. If that's not enough, you can upgrade to 370 mm, but at least 19 inches are required. But of course that's not a problem either. Because B&B has its own light alloy wheels in the format 8,5 × 20 inches all around with 235/30 tires and thus also ensures an upgraded look. Other in-house aluminum in 18 + 19 inches round off the tuning program for the Beetle.
