pretty sure someone (probably you) posted that one already
How about this one?
I don't think I ever heard about this:
"In 1951, Volkswagen prototyped a 1.3 L diesel engine. Volkswagen made only two of these naturally aspirated, air-cooled boxer diesel engines, and installed one engine in a Type 1 and another in a Type 2. The diesel Beetle was time tested on the Nürburgring and achieved 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 60 seconds"
Have you read these?

Wow, I had no idea. What a cool thing though. Sorry it didn't make it further. I couldn't find any video of the clone being run but it must by crazy loud. I guess not having a traditional engine block just allowed too much noise to be generated.
I saw this pic today and love it.
I found an article regarding this that explains a bit. Quite a hodgepodge.
Wow, that's gorgeous. I found this one today:
Thasalotta 80's :)
This one confuses me.
