Twisted's boss, Charles Fawcett, emphasized, "It's about the connection between driver, machine, and terrain. Modern cars isolate us from the experience, but the TBug brings that connection back." This approach offers a thrilling drive, complete with:
- A cartoonish yet charming face featuring LED lighting
- A robust, sealed, and reinforced chassis
- Long-travel suspension with Bilstein shocks for superior handling
- EMPI Baja wheels paired with BF Goodrich off-road tires
Twisted is renowned for customizing Land Rover Defenders and Suzuki Jimnys, so they're no strangers to off-roading. The TBug features:
- A Baja-inspired body kit
- Enhanced braking system
- Hand-finished leather interiors with options for customization, including bucket seats and Alcantara upholstery
The shift from Land Rovers to Beetles was inspired by Fawcett’s childhood memories. "My sister Helen had incredible Baja Bug posters on her wall. Those modified Beetles were fun, capable, and rebellious, igniting my imagination," Fawcett shared.
The Twisted TBug revives the joy of raw driving with its unique blend of off-road capability and nostalgic charm. By doubling the power output, Twisted delivers a fun-packed experience without veering into excess. While pricing remains under wraps, the TBug stands as a charming homage to the Baja Bug legacy, combining childhood dreams with modern engineering finesse.
