It's because of stunts like this that I stopped watching TG. Drool over 'super'cars, laugh at cheap old cars. TV for idiots.

why didnt they drop the porsche from 30km and let that Beetle live? I mean, nobody could care less where the porsche landed.
Simon Dehn
It should be a German flag, considering both are German icons.

2020 and this is still a cool car.

Yes, a Beetle was hurt during the filming of this video.
Mistah Fox
All things considered, the beetle no only landed on it's wheels, it's also in mostly one piece, could probably be rebuilt in a year if it was actually real.

PORSCHE 911 Sport Turbo might had the Speed advantage but the VW Beetle is the undisputed More Well Known & More Well Loved Car in the World! ♥️🌷🕯

Does anyone care that the Porsche got dirty?
ANYONE?

With maintenance costs i'd rather have the Beetle.
THE KIDD
Eh, it was a '70 so not a huge loss.

Don't worry guys, look closely you will know it's a different Beetle, not the one Hammond drove. It has no headlights, taillights, door handles, glasses etc, just a Beetle shell from scrapyard with temporary red paint on it.

That’s an Aircraft Carrier length there………

Waste of a classic. I was always told to respect my elders.

I am not a vw fan, I do not like the comments, And the only vw car i like is the golf.
Just a moustache
That porsche is so much better than the beetle
Synth Toaster
WHY THE HELL WOLD YOU DROP A VALUABLE PEACE LIKE THAT!!!!?
ebd Denby
Don't forget the beetle is heavy for a 50bhp car. But it's a straight swap to put a scooby engine in
I want my kids susan
Do that with the Toyota pickup!

Hammock, where is the Lambo Chevy?

Did that actually say race (something) on the beetle’s wind screen during the drag race 😂😂😂
