mexican based aldekas studio has unveiled a proposal that takes the beloved volkswagen beetle and
turns its fenders into a cool-looking kart. called bugkart wasowski, the designer repurposed the
fenders from a type 1 model, melding them together to create a retro-styled, custom-frame mini kart.

featuring an olive green look, the bugkart wasowski by aldekas studio takes the volkswagen beetle’s
fenders, headlights and turn signals and transforms them into a kart that features the car’s
dis nc ve round shape. the red kart frame contrasts with the green of the fender, adding charm to
the kart as well. a round, tall handlebar acts as the steering system while the original chrome side
mirrors add to the classic look. regarding the engine and transmission, there’s not enough info as here
we’re only seeing the renderings.

overall, the bugkart wasowski by aldekas studio pays homage to the volkswagen beetle type 1, or
the ‘bug’, which has gained iconic status since its release. designed in the 1930s, civilian beetles only
began to be produced in significant numbers by the end of the 1940s due to world war II. the car was
then internally designated the volkswagen type 1, and marketed simply as the volkswagen. later
models were designated volkswagen 1200, 1300, 1500, 1302, or 1303, the former three indica ng
engine displacement, the la er two derived from the model number.
