The Volkswagen GRC Beetle will make its Rallycross debut this weekend. Drift maestro Tanner Foust, who will race the GRC Beetle, has already given us a teaser, and now it’s the official trailer from Volkswagen.
It’s a pretty mad car and while we’re yet to really sink our teeth into Rallycross, it looks like a stack of fun!
Rallycross is a fast emerging category of motorsport. Volkswagen is taking it very seriously and will soon be competing with this 540hp+ GRC Beetle in the Red Bull Global Rallycross series. It has been developed in conjunction with Andretti Motorsport.
As you can see, we’re not talking about back yard operations here. These are some of the biggest players in world motorsport.
In this teaser video drift king Tanner Foust puts his skills to work, while the numbers do the talking. And they are impressive numbers too. Take a look at the clip and let us know what you think.
