Makes perfect sense to me, take 2 of the crappiest cars ever made and join them together to make a big pile of steaming ( you get the idea)

Only the Allegro Equipe had the square wheel (my first car)

Not sure what I make of this creation, hmmm

I like the Allegro, and thinks this one looks good. But come on, VW Beetle running gear is a massive step backwards.

I won't be buying it, but we've seen far worse and it does look very well executed

"Drives, handles and sounds like a Beetle---Looks like an Allegro"

Best of both then!

Nice work though

Not my sort of car, but come on a lot of work has gone into this project and well done to the guy for doing what looks like a nice job.

Completely crazy! I actually quite like it and it looks very well put together.

Why?

I agree fully, instead of going to all the trouble of fitting the floorpan?/running gear from a beetle why not do it right with Porsche running gear. I would definitely want an Allegro wolf in sheeps clothing.

I quite like it for some reason; it certainly looks well done.

Stick a Subaru lump in the back and it'd certainly be exciting!

There seems to be a bit of nostalgia going on here, maybe there is a market for V8 allegros - now that would make a great combination with the hydrogas suspension and terrible brakes :-0

Exactly, ..................why indeed?

Never like either the Beetle or the Allegro - a combination of the two sounds even worse!

I note they've used a Mexican Beetle. An friend and I traveled Mexico many years ago and hired a Beetle for a day. It was a naff car, but being freshly built and living in a hot dry environment it was a least rust free. I'm guessing die hard Beetle fans try to avoid using Mexican made newer parts for fear of diluting the original car too much?

this. my thought exactly
