BeamNG 1963 VW Beetle: BEST Classic Car Mod?

oh flipped it over oh I mean the beetle was never a natural race car BG's Volkswagen Beetle mod is a labor of love it's constantly updated and overflowing with unique features it really deserves some appreciation originally released in 2018 it's been updated constantly by several different people most recently Mr X and they've added some really cool features to the car the exterior modeling is exquisite it's definitely been given the love that the Volkswagen Beetle deserves and this might be one of the best interiors of any real world car model every texture is high quality and there's so many little features in here we'll check this out later though let's go for a drive this car has a 1.2 L flat 4 engine but there's lots of different engine configs they are all flat 4S and this car has an amazing feeling suspension really really realistic it's quite soft but you can control the body roll quite well it's rear wheel drive as well and that rear engine at the back means you can kind of drift it pretty good break break they don't have antop brakes of course this car was first made in 1938 and went right up to 2003 where it was made in Mexico I believe but the car was of course made in Germany for a very long time we've got the Wolfsburg Crest on the steering wheel there some old Volkswagens had the Wolfsburg Crest and that's basically the city or the coat of arms of the city where Volkswagen is based in terms of power well we've probably only got about 30 or 40 in this base model it's not a lot and got a twin rear exhaust underneath the massive bumper oh my goodness oh okay 80 km per hour still accelerating let's do a head-on crash test and it's a tgra here we go who we came to a massive stop there you can tell this car is much lighter than the tagra damage model is pretty good things are hanging off you can see there's quite a bit of deformation and the spare tire has fallen out the frunk and yes this C does have a frun and to open it you've got to pull the hood release there and then open it up and you can see the spare wheel and a little bit of space actually a fuel tank but also a little bit of space for your luggage what about the interior well first of all we've got a sun roof and you can open it by holding left click on there and then close it by clicking shift and left click boom we've also got sun visors like so we've got an ashtray I've not seen that in any other beam and G mod a glove box with looks like some sunglasses a brochure and a notebook in there I don't know what that is the butons here you can turn on the wipers and they have three different speeds then we've also got the lights here and a radio I've not seen this in many mods you can turn it on by increasing the volume like that it's got three different radio stations we've got dictor syn wave who that's loud and CLA Delon they're just musical Loops there in BeamNG by default and when you open the door the music increases in volume look at that that is really cool we've got an interior light up here which is really nice and when you open the door that will turn on automatically there we go close it and it's off roll down Windows which are really nice and quarter lights and the volume of the exterior noise actually increases when you open them now all of this adds up and it's definitely one of the most detailed Interiors of any BNG vehicle there are 26 configs including some Herby configs we'll check them all out starting with the 1600 this is the 1600 us and it doesn't have a rag top it actually has a roof bar on the top and look you can fit it with some luggage so I've put some camping luggage on the roof and I believe if we drive recklessly it will fall off so let's go but the 1600 does feel quite a bit faster this is I mean that's in Miles hour we're already up to 60 I mean it's not going to set the world on fire but we're probably talking 10 or maybe 15 more horsepower wa that was actually kind of a drift there all the stuff has managed to stay on the roof though wa the body roll is crazy whoo oh my goodness look out oh that was bad and we got a really nice retro horn but the flat four engine sound I believe whoa It's from the picolina okay here we go another crash test into oh we rolled over there goes the stuff on the Roof oh and the roof rack oh dear I really love the way the windows smash as well they look really nice but also look at the J beam if you press contrl and T you can basically see the visualized J beam and the close of these weird rectangular or purple shapes are to the body workor that means the higher quality the modeling and it looks pretty good on this there's also this the Black Edition and a bit like Mercedes this thing is a tricked out speed monster we've got a black Bodywork we've got orange roll bars and these kind of nice piped orange seats look we've even got water in the door panel that's cool and you can open the boot with the engine in it and look at the quality of the engine there all of the engines in this model look really high quality but especially this one okay off we go revving up that's pretty fast wo 1800 cc engine oh my goodness it's quick this could keep up with modern sports cards absolutely we're already past 100 mph we are off who she wants to kind of over steer at 100 mph okay we've only got four gears I'll be interested to see what kind of speed we can get up to let's turn the lights on so we can see the dials better those dials look great whoa over steering a bit drifting it we're drifting at 120 mph wa this is fast okay into the tunnel let's see oh no we're not going to make it oh that was a big crash o that was weird I mean you can kind of use the brakes to drift oh we're going in reverse now right JT turn in a be is it possible kind of whoa oh my goodness pretty hard to handle in 1951 Volkswagen made a prototype diesel for the beetle now diesels would not really take off until the '70s and 80s but let's see what a 1951 diesel car is like well we haven't got a rev counter oh M this is slow this is really slow so modern diesels get their performance from turbos but it would be 25 years until s really pioneered turbocharging in mass-produced cars oh my goodness this is crazy I do really like the way the diesel engine sounds though they've put a lot of work into making the engine sound pretty nice in this mod oh shaking around the suspension is a little bit jittery but uh in most models it does feel quite soft so I guess that's realistic for an old car like this with pretty archaic suspension now the mod was updated with bman G 0. 31's Dynamic mirrors that means you can see the actual reflection of the car in the mirrors and they just look so nice and crisp in 2024 there will be lots more modded vehicles and vanilla Vehicles which will get this Dynamic mirrors feature that's going to be great I can't wait this is the luxury Coupe and I've got to say the exterior doesn't look that luxury we have got white wall tires but oh yes look at the wood in here and the red leather that looks really nice we've got a more powerful engine it's not quite as powerful as the Black Edition but it is quick okay we're taking it around the San Francisco style streets now jumping all over here let's see how the suspension can take a big jump over 100 km per hour wa yeah pretty well break break break break oh that's that was a huge crash wow you know I really like the deformation it does look good and look little Easter egg there is where the battery was Is that real is that really where the battery is in a beetle the standout feature of the mod for me are the Herby configs of which there are five different ones they basically Encompass all the different Herby movies including the Love Bug right up to the one with Lindsay Lohan in 2005 now hery actually has a personality so at the moment Herby likes me and it's kind of jumping around looks pretty happy but if you take Herby on the road well it's automatic for some reason it's pretty far when they like me waa really fast and Herby actually has Dynamic horsepower so if we crash he'll start to dislike me here we go oh oh dear as you can see top left trust has gone down small crash you can measure this by looking at the engine temperature so the more you crash the hotter the engine will get and the less Herby likes you there you go through it already at 50% okay let's give Herby a big crash here we go that was bad and yeah fully heated up on the engine how much does he like now well that's my foot to the floor and as you can see Herby is spluttering Herby really dislikes me and we're barely moving but if you drive along Herby's trust goes up uh because he haven't crashed and you can drive normally again so let's drive Herby into the water and watch this this is the one from Herby Goes Bananas and look all the her's float and they drive pretty well in the water I found that Herby doesn't go very fast while in the water so if you switch between neutral and drive you kind of pick up speed look here we go can we make it out of the water here we go come on onto the land go Herby go no we're so nearly there come on come on maybe if we do it in reverse we're pretty close come on keep it reversing yes yes yes there you go so it's pretty much a Flawless amphibious vehicle just need a way oh to keep it propelling along in the water come on up the hill i' have to say the kind of effect of dirt and grime and rust is pretty good on this one now Herby has another party trick when you press the G key Herby will wheelie look at that and the trust actually goes up when you wheelie which is really cool so let's floor it and wheelie wao we cannot control the front wheels of course they are completely off the ground who course I got an off-road variant in Cary browny green it's a pretty nice looking vehicle it kind of looks more like an army car we've got the Jerry cans on the side and the off-road tire on the roof we hav got GPS in here and that just kind of feels wrong in a Volkswagen Beetle this is basically a very basic stripped out version for the Brazilian Market you can see there's absolutely no luxury on the interior here we do have rear seats which is good but the padding's been removed from the doors we haven't even got a glove box but the good news is it still drives exactly like a Beal we don't even have a re a right or left mirror wow this is the barnfind variant and as you can see it's even more rusted than that Herby variant it does look pretty cool though the interior is really really dirty now it sounds like the piston rings or maybe the con rods are damaged but it still does drive it's not fast but it does drive and the suspension also feels a little bit knackered oh not a good noise coming from this thing and here is what this Rusty Beetle looked like when it was restored look at that beauty and I really like the look of this one with this weird kind of goldish paint and then the tires are massive with just one Central Chrome alloy thing interior is also really nice and little hidden feature here the clock does actually work and it's even got a second hand shows your real world time in the color menu you can also change the color of the interior look at that we have blue green really really nice and there are lots of really nice exterior colors including my favorite Moonlight look at that oh this is great red interior and purple body that is the beetle I'd want this is the tuned variant it has about 300 horsepower and it even has nitrous I love the body kit out here in two shades of blue and a little rear wing we also got a massive roll cage on the interior and fluffy dice under the mirror okay let's take it out woo onto the track it's pretty tail happy here we go that is the nitrous activated oh my goodness we're off I've got over torque risk this isn't great but we're still going that's 120 oh still got four gears 135 top speed is oh careful wa wow we have very little damage from that look just a slightly cracked tail light and love this look Save Water Drive air cool so then we've got to do a cornering test how does it Corner who well the brakes are incredibly powerful probably too powerful and because we don't have antiock breaks makes it quite difficult to break into a corner okay here we go just break slightly break slightly look at that juddering okay tiniest bit of breaking oops crunching the gear o flipped it over oh I mean the beat was never a natural race car but oh oh on the wheels perfect the Volkswagen Beatle mod for BeamNG it's epic it's constantly updated every few months I'll leave a link to it in the description below and that was my last BNG video of 2023 I hope you had a great year and I hope you enjoyed all my
