Discover Twisted Automotive's Stunning Modern Take on the Classic Beetle: The T-Bug!

The iconic Beetle is a testament to resilience and transformation. Surviving tumultuous beginnings in one of the darkest eras of modern history, it emerged not only unscathed but triumphant, becoming one of the most successful car lines ever. Its unfettered spirit and malleability have kept it in production from 1938 to 2003. With over 21 million units produced worldwide, the Beetle enjoys a robust fanbase, testament to its enduring appeal. Going beyond the run-of-the-mill modifications, some enthusiasts pushed the boundaries, leading to creations like the Baja Bug and the Meyers Manx. Honouring this boundary-pushing spirit, Twisted Automotive has just unveiled the T-Bug, its own interpretation of the iconic Beetle. The Baja Bug, like the equally commendable Meyers Manx, traces its roots to Southern California in the 1960s. The revolutionary Baja Bug, which was the brainchild of innovator Gary Emory, was a groundbreaking blend of the Beetle and the Manx. The construction involved mightily transforming a stock beetle into an audacious off-roading vehicle. With the advent of fibreglass kits by Miller-Havens a year later, a whole new avenue for Beetle modifications blossomed. Resonating the Baja Bug’s audacity, the T-Bug is a stunning testament to the evergreen appeal of the Beetle. It captures the inimitable charm of the free-spirited original, infused with modernity and innovation. Twisted Automotive’s rendition embodies the quintessential irreverence of a Baja Bug - a jacked-up suspension, stubby off-roading tyres, and larger wheel accommodating fenders. Simultaneously, it retains the central ‘Bugeye’ look, enhanced fuel injection system or engine swaps for greater power, and the practical additions of a roll cage and bucket seats for that true sports feel. This blending of the nostalgic with the avant-garde illustrates not only the enduring charm of the Beetle but also the wonders of reinterpretation through modern automotive design.
