Porsche has retained the rear or mid- engine design with the exception
of the 928, and a few of the newer vehicles which were rebadged VW/
Porsche designs. Once the Rabbit came out, VW has remained front
engined ever since.

True, I don't think you can really call anything after the 993 related
to the Beetle by anything other than styling cues. Prior to that, the
relationship was clear although the evolution was significant.

Of course the relationship between the early 911s and the Beetle
isn't quite
as simple as Adam suggested, but the 911 was certainly a derivative
of that
car. Of course, later 911s evolved into something far different.

But a 911 IS a pimped up Beetle ;-)

The 356 was a pimped up Beetle, the 911 was something else
entirely...
The 356 was a reskinned Beetle with a couple tweaks and a diet. The
911 was a chopped and pimped beetle. There's a reason you can
transplant older 911 drivetrains pretty much directly into a
Beetle.
I've done that, it's not as easy as you think.
(I've also bolted a 356 engine into a Beetle, after helping
rebuild it, I
know of what I speak).
