On June 20, 2014, the brand new Volkswagen Beetle GRC was released. GRC stands for (Redbull) Global Rallycross. This specific vehicle is a more angry and aggressive version of the Volkswagen Beetle. It gets 544 horsepower and weighs as little as 2668 pounds.

The Volkswagen Beetle GRC features a six-speed transmission, fixed-ratio all-wheel-drive system, and 17-inch wheels.

"With this combination of low weight, high horsepower, and all-wheel-drive traction, the Beetle GRC is predicted to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in an incredibly quick 2.1 seconds." - AutoBlog

The Volkswagen Beetle GRC will run later this season in the Red Bull Global Rallycross championship. Behind the wheel will be Andretti Autosport and Scott Speed. The race debut date has not been announced.

Jost Capito, Volkswagen Motorsport director, said: "After Volkswagen of America's impressive start on the rallycross scene with the Polo, the launch of the new Beetle GRC rallycross car represents the next major milestone.
