I can't add much to the guidance already provided, but I have to ask...

• A real Beetle (hopeless antique that should never go 150 mh), or a New Beetle (generic modern compact with retro body)?
• Why the Beetle (either way)?
• Do you understand that the 150 mph speed is exceptionally high, for either an electric vehicle or for any variety of Beetle?

If the zombie 222 can almost hit 200 a beetle can go 150.

Even aside from the fact that the original Mustang was designed three decades after the original Beetle, they have nothing in common, and the Mustang is fundamentally much more sound for high-speed operation.

Still, even a old Beetle chassis could go 150 mph with an adequate degree of stability, with a bunch of work. After all, an old Porsche is nothing but a slightly rebodied Beetle.

I'm just curious, not judging.
