Though it might look like just a chopped New Beetle, this wild pickup is actually more of a BMW 3 Series with Bug, Porsche Cayman and Ford F. The borrowed BMW M50B25 then manages to kill two birds with one stone, supplying the power as well as taking care of the weight balance by being dropped into the front of this particular Bug. This isn't exactly the view you expect to see when you open up a Beetle's hood!
BMW's Z3 Coupe holds a special place in many enthusiasts' hearts for a reason. Take one look at the BMW Z3 M (nicknamed the "Clown Shoe" and you'll soon realize that it was not car BMW felt would make any money. Just found on my bmw, Australia, looks like some weird hybrid of spider-x-cockroach-x-beetle, lucky these things are small.
BMW has doubled down on a divisive design direction, unveiling a new concept car described as "hideous", diseased, and a "Bugs Bunny" lookalike by outraged fans. The cult classic BMW Z3 M Coupe, often known as the Clown Shoe, hit the market in 1998 and lasted five years. Has a spiritual successor arrived? Known as the BMW Concept Touring Coupé, the model.
BMW's Z3 M is a M3-powered Frankenstein in a hardhat. 21 years later, there's nothing like it, and young enthusiasts see the appeal. For better and for worse, not every idea is a good idea and this seems like a prime example of such.
As user @crankshift continued, "What you're looking at is the BMW Gina, a shape shifting sports car. It can adjust the way it looks with just the touch of a button. What Is It Based On? The car itself is a 1973 Super Beetle, apparently modified by the poster's father, who moved to Canada from Germany and had been trained there as a mechanic with Volkswagen.
