3L Engineering and Design, a South African company, has taken the classic Volkswagen Beetle and reimagined it as a powerful sleeper car, aptly named the "V8 Stealth Beetle." This transformation goes beyond a mere engine swap; it is a comprehensive reconstruction of the iconic vehicle.

The company offers various engine options for these custom builds, including the Chevrolet LS V8 engines from early-model Corvettes. Customers can choose from the LS1, LS2, or LS3 models, each known for their reliability and power. For those preferring a European engine, there's also the option of an Audi 4.2-liter V8, previously featured in models like the RS4 or S6. These engines are paired with a Getrag six-speed manual gearbox, ensuring a thrilling driving experience.
