Loved the herbie movies as a kid

Herbie was my jam as a kid! I’d love a replica built with Porsche parts... In the actual movie, they fitted one of the cars with a Porsche 365 engine so it could keep up with the other cars...

So good. We watched the original somewhat recently with my kids, and my little guy was cracking up.

That would be amazing!

Fun to know that about one of the originals.

No need to spend mucho $$ in OEM Porsche parts. Plenty of readily available souped up beetle engines for sale.

Example : https://jcsvwparts.com/high-performance/turnkey-complete/

A 2.3 l will scoot the beetle in a proper way ...

Also, you can ask Noodles, he has a cool engine for sale.

I think the footage is sped up as well, but in order for it to look realistic the car already had to be going at a fairly brisk pace.
