That is one fast little motor, less then a 1.5L
I bet the wheel caps accounted for around a 10 mph gain, My Beetle needs a set of those..

article quote: This earned the model a Southern California Timing Association (SCTA) H/PS land speed record for "production cars with engines of less than 1.5 liters that use forced induction.
