FYI: The Twisted TBug brings nostalgia and innovation together, redefining the Baja Bug experience.
A Baja Bug with a Twist
If you think you’ve seen every iteration of a Volkswagen Beetle, think again. Introducing the TBug, a captivating remix of the classic Baja Bug, showcasing that less horsepower doesn’t mean less thrill.
From Childhood Dream to Reality
The inspiration behind the TBug stems from a childhood dream. Charles Fawcett, the founder of Twisted, was enchanted by Baja Bug posters that adorned his sister’s room. This lifelong fascination spurred the creation of something extraordinary.
Volkswagen’s Diverse Legacy
Volkswagen has built a diverse lineup — from daily drivers to the latest electric vehicles. Recently, their new EV model outperformed Tesla in sales, while their advanced Emergency Assist technology underscores their commitment to safety.
Twisted’s Unique Approach
This innovation comes from blending the rebellious spirit of the original Baja Bug with Twisted’s engineering prowess. The process begins with restoring a classic air-cooled Beetle from the ’60s to ’80s, completely reimagining it from the chassis up. Focused not solely on power—though its output has doubled to under 80 horsepower—the TBug is all about attitude.
Making a Statement
Every TBug is a unique creation. The custom suspension and bodywork accentuate its rugged yet stylish design, destined to turn heads wherever it goes.
A Symbol of Imagination
The TBug isn’t just a car; it’s a testament to the power of imagination and innovation. It shows how a childhood fascination can translate into a tangible expression of creativity and engineering.
