Will.i.am’s “Mutant Beetle" is a heavily modified 1958 Volkswagen Beetle that the Black Eyed Peas frontman spent an estimated $900,000 to create. The build took several years to complete due to constant design overhauls - and was built by several custom shops, including West Coast Customs. Originally a rear-engine standard Beetle bought for $2,000 - the car was converted to a front-engine layout using a supercharged GM LS3 V8. The Mutant Beetle features elongated Morgan-like vintage fenders, a massive Bentley-style front grille, suicide doors, and a deep purple paint job.
