    1600 dp motor. the og owners manual says 60bhp at 4400rpm, 24.7 mpg, max speed 81 mph, and yeah 0-60 in about 18 seconds the manual says 0-50 (yes 50) in 12.5 seconds but thats pushing it. they must of tested it with a strong tail wind (trust me on that). and the 60bhp is enough to get you down the freeway at 70mph all day. heres the link to the owners manual

    1971 Vw Beetle Specs

    1600 DP engine, pushing 60 HP if it's tuned really well. My friends 73 does 0-60 in 20.5 seconds but that seems a bit slow to me. I have a 68 that's a bit quicker. maybe around 15 seconds.
