The thing is that many modern cars which make 180HP have relatively small engines (Renault Clio sport is a 2000cc engine) compared to most Beetle engines which make 180HP as they are usually around the 2300-2400cm size. The difference is in the weight, of course, but in the close gearing that a Beetle has as well. A Beetle with about 180HP will be about as quick as a WRX Subaru with about 280HP to about 140km/h. The difference is in how the two cars feel as well. The Subaru will feel quick but manageable whereas the Beetle will feel a handful. What that means is that the Beetle will try to steer from the back pushing the car in whatever direction and quick reactions at the steering wheel are necessary to keep it from going off the road. What the owner feels is enough is a personal preference, though. Some people are happy with 30HP, but if you spend even some time reading the tuning section of this site web site then you are probably one of those people who feel that even 50 HP is not enough. I spent some time driving Martin Paluch's car around Warsaw and though this car has only about 100 HP it pulled away from almost everything else on the road very easily up to about 100km/h. It also has the same power range as a standard engine (idle to about 4500RPM) which meant that it was very easy to drive and required very few gear changes.
