The Beetles and Things were all gassers. There were a few (very few!) diesel VW flat-fours made and installed in Beetles, but the NVH and lack of power were deemed unacceptable. This for a car that started out at <20 HP, and may have made 40HP at the time!
Lots of Beetle-based kit cars out there. I can't think of any that are aerodynamically that good.
