When you think “Pikes Peak Special”, you’re probably thinking of Audis, Evos, Porsches, open wheel cars… all clad with giant aero and more carbon fiber than all of Nopi nationals combined. What you probably don’t think about is a diesel 70s Volkswagen Beetle. But when it’s PDK swapped, and compound turbo’d to the tune of 500 ft-lbs of torque, it all starts to make sense that a few of Europe’s celebrated rallyists thought it would be a good idea to take this thing up the world’s highest hillclimb race.

Richard is in the Porsche and must cover the distance on the ground while the Beetle is dropped from a helicopter. Which will win? The Porsche or gravity?

Can we agree that whatever the engineers at Dodge are on, they need more of it?? “Hellcat motor the world” is a strategy that everyone should be able to get behind. But how does a off-roading racing inspired truck do against an actual off-road race vehicle? Our dude Blake Wilkey brought out Megalodon to settle the score.

What do you get when you combine a VW Bug and a UTV? The answer: BajAwesome. The Carcass team builds a Baja style bug with a left for dead VW Beetle and a stock Can-Am Maverick X3. They add a custom-fit roll cage, fabricated louvers out back, and a whole bunch of style points to this Baja style bug. Then, the bug gets an 80's retro style paint job to go along with a long-travel suspension before the Carcass team takes this incredible combo to Dirty Turtle Offroad Park.
