Twisted T-Bug: Modern Off-Roader Inspired by the Baja Bug
The Twisted T-Bug, built by Twisted Automotive, is a modern take on the iconic Baja Bug using a classic 1960s VW Beetle chassis. Enhanced for off-road performance, it features reinforced chassis, cutaway fender flares, tubular bumpers, larger EMPI Baja wheels with BFGoodrich off-road tires, increased suspension travel, and modern LED headlights. Its air-cooled flat-four engine has double the original power, offering an engaging driving experience under 80hp. The interior has been upgraded with bucket seats and a custom dashboard.
