Wheels and tyres from a CC01, a Fastrax roof rack and spotlights, and a brush bar bent up from bundy tube could bring you colse to something like this:

Can you choose front or rear drive on the m chassis? If so rear drive Baja bug gets my vote hands down lol

The New Beetle is on the FF01 chassis, which is a regular 190mm wide, 257mm wheelbase chassis.

Not sure about a cop car beetle though. The crooks give up because they are laughing too much to get away?

Bright pink or bright red with a barbie doll in the driver's seat would match 90% of the ones you see real on the road :P

Well, there was such a New Beetle cop car in "Beetle Adventure Racing" on the Nintendo 64. I liked that car, as turning on the signal horn made all competing cars stop instantly on the track. :D The game was rebranded as "HSV Adventure Racing" in Australia, though.

Like I said, all the bad guys have to stop because they're laughing too much to make a get away.

Yeap, you'd be laughing too much to beat him, even if your car was faster.

Don't get me wrong, I love the shape of the old Beetle. But the new one was just a big ugly FWD joke. Sorry Camy.

Sounds like my kind of guy.

I once got into an argument with some "tuners" about how their rusted out Civics were way better than a Dodge neon. It ended when I suggested that they should hope they never pull up to the lights next to a SRT4.

i love what we call ' Q cars ' here in the Uk . Stock looking everyday cars that hide huge performance . Many years ago i had a very tired looking two door MK 3 Cortina that was hiding a 3.1 S engine from a Capri with twin webbers under its bonnet ;) . Oh the fun i had blowing off so called hot hatches :lol:

The rally gets my vote. The cop version is just the roof lights. The same lights can be added to rally kind of make it into a pace car. Cannot think off any other version for the new bug.:-(

Wait a minute...how about an updated version of the Sand Scotcher with a static motor at the back.
