I wrote this guide because once again I was discussing the best engine build for the beetle with a friend and we had different opinions.
But of course, I went looking around YouTube and Reddit and found some interesting builds for the Beetle.
However, like other NFS Heat Engine Build guides. The best testing is carried out on YouTube.
Today’s Beetle engine stats come from Militia Gaming Community. He tested the Beetle’s race times on both the Aerion and Aardvark tracks.

Check out the stats of the Beetle on the Aerion track. We can see from the table below that the 1.5L I3 Hybrid engine smashes the 2.4L I6 by nearly 4 seconds. Having a 4 second lead over your top contender is mind-blowing, this engine is FAST!
Aardvark Track Results
The Aardvark results are below. Breaking them down we can see that the Hybrid beats its top contender, the 2.5L Flat 4 by a second. Although, it doesn’t seem like a lot. A second in race time is a huge difference.
