"Volkswagen says it’s way hotter than “Herbie,” and we would be hard-pressed to argue. Tanner Foust’s Red Bull Global Rallycross Beetle has been built from the ground up as a thoroughbred racecar. Foust, who was sponsored by Xbox and Forza during the 2014 GRC season, debuted the Beetle GRC at the Los Angeles leg of the 2014 Global Rallycross season and drove it the rest of the year to develop it to compete in 2015. With 540 turbocharged horsepower coming from the 1.6-liter motor and all-wheel-drive to get things moving, this is a Beetle like no other. In a straight line, this Beetle will see 0-60 in just over two seconds. In the corners, it drifts and cuts a turn with precision on any surface. It’s a Forza first, and Forza Horizon 2 is the perfect environment to give it a good thrashing."—Official description[1]
