Rather tenuous. The bigger, squarerer windshield kills it.

Did I mention it's hideous and I hate it? Volkhart-Sagitta fan.
Edit: Sorry for the negativity. So the logical way to extend a Beetle-shaped body would be with Tatra-style cooling intakes.
I'm thinking air scoops that are fender skirts with the whole front edge open, the inner face of the tire making one face of the duct. Then the rear edge following the curve of the back edge of the rear tire, like that '31 Bugatti Type 51 I posted in the Interesting Cars thread. Lay a sheet on a circle, pull the free edge down maybe 10°. The sheet will deform into s softly curved shape. Hammer-form that.
Then the upper body taper would be maximized (vertically) with ±3ft added length, with a 4-piece backlight like a '48 Studebaker Starlight coupe but with a 45° gathering angle.
