Fidanza Lightweight Flywheel for VW Beetle Cabriolet (1985-1993)

Summer’s here and hopefully the current restrictions will still allow us to get a little top-down driving done before the autumn sets in. To add to the fun Fidanza, Americaʼs leading performance flywheel specialist, has a direct replacement lightweight aluminium flywheel to improve the performance of the popular VW Beetle Cabriolet (1985-1993).

The Fidanza aluminium flywheel replaces the heavy standard flywheel and improves the power-to-weight ratio thus making the engine more responsive and improving performance and acceleration.

The Fidanza aluminium flywheel is made from high-quality machined 6061 T6 aluminium with a 1050 steel friction surface, CNC machined fastener holes and chamfers with military grade fasteners. The friction surface of the flywheel (shown with its green protective coating in the image) is a replaceable steel plate, so when the surface eventually becomes worn it can be replaced without requiring a new flywheel.

Every Fidanza flywheel application is a unique design that has taken into account the overall balance, critical clearances, tensile strength, heat dissipation and optimum weight saving that strikes a careful balance between reducing the original weight and maintaining a smooth idle for day-to-day street driving.

Using the Fidanza flywheel for the VW Beetle Cabiolet requires a VR6 clutch.

The Fidanza flywheel is available directly from Fidanza as part number 187491 at $501.34 plus shipping and import tax.

Alternatively Fidanza flywheels can be ordered from Demon Tweeks although stock delivery times may be affected by the COVID-19 situation.
