VW Frankencopter

From the comments section:
“I had hoped to see a video of this copter in flight. Alas, it’s never going to fly! Here’s more info I located on Instagram:
Aircraft maintenance expert Chuck Jurgen Teschke from Alberta, Canada, is creating a unique hybrid by combining a classic VW T1 Bus with parts from an Airbus H125 helicopter. This project, known as the ‘Frankencopter,’ is a static art installation designed to resemble a helicopter, though it is not intended to fly. The build features a modified VW Bus shell integrated with helicopter components, including landing skids and a tail boom, resulting in a striking visual piece that blends automotive and aviation elements.”

Retro-Future Beetle Stretcher

Retrofuture Volkswagen prototype was designed by Mikhail Smolyanov / Solifuge Design, and he’s got a similar VW Bugsled in black. Since there are no images of modications in progress, I assume that the version above was never built.

HOWEVER, there is this:

Similar design, yet not the same. Image searches for this work in progress produced no matches.
