Ua hoʻokumu ʻia kahi mana nui Volkswagen Beetle o 1959 ma USA.
Ma lalo o ka puʻupuʻu o kahi kaʻa kūikawā he 5,7-lita V8 engine mai Dodge Magnum. I ka US, ua hana ka poʻe Volkswagen Beetle i kahi ʻano maʻamau o kēia kaʻa. ʻO ka papahana a ʻAmelika Scott Tuper a me kona makuakāne e hana nei i kapa ʻia ʻo "Huge Bug". ʻO ka Beetle maʻamau, i hōʻike ʻia ma ke kahawai YouTube Barcroft Cars, he nui loa - aneane ʻelua ʻelua o ka nui o ke kumu hoʻohālike. Ma ke ʻano o ka nui, aia ke kaʻa ma mua o ka Hummer SUV.
Wahi a nā mea hana o ka pilikua Zhuk, i ka wā mua ua hoʻopili kā lākou mau hoʻolālā i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i kahi hiʻohiʻona 50% ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o ke kaʻa kumu. Eia naʻe, ua hoʻololi ʻia ma hope ʻaʻole hiki i kahi kaʻa ke loaʻa kahi palapala ʻae e hele i nā ala ākea. A laila hoʻoholo ka poʻe ʻAmelika e kaupalena iā lākou iho i kahi hoʻonui o 40%.
No ka hana ʻana i kēia, lawe nā ʻAmelika i ka Volkswagen Beetle ma ke ʻano he kumu kumu. ʻO ke kumu o ke kaʻa hou mai Dodge. Ma lalo o ka uhi o ka Beetle he 1959-lita V3 engine mai Dodge Magnum.
I ka manawa like, aneane like loa ka hoʻolālā o waho a me loko i ka Volkswagen Beetle. Hoʻohui pū nā mea hana o ke kaʻa i kekahi mau koho i kēia lā i ka Beetle. I waena o lākou: nā puka aniani uila, nā noho wela a me nā ea ea.
E like me ka wehewehe ʻana o nā mea kākau o ke alakaʻi, ʻo ka pahuhopu nui o ka papahana ʻo ia ka hoʻonui ʻana i ke kaʻa ma ke alanui. Wahi a Scott Tupper: "He mea maikaʻi loa ka hoʻokele ʻana i kahi pōpoki a ʻaʻole makaʻu i ka paʻi ʻia e ke kaʻa."
Ma mua o ka USA, ua hoʻolako ʻia ka 2 Volkswagen Type 1958 van me kahi mīkini pahu Rolls-Royce Viper 535. ʻO ka mana o kēia ʻāpana he 5000 hp. ʻO ka mea kākau o ka papahana ʻo ia ka ʻenekini amateur Perry Watkins. Wahi a ia, ʻoi aku ka hana ma kāna papahana ma mua o ʻelua makahiki.
