yes they are.It would be hard to get enough power out of a beetle engine to make it a drifter. You can purchase new turbo engines for the old beetle, but that's still only like 150hp and maybe 120lbs of torque.
You are going to have to get a lot of power out of it and shave alot of the weight off.

I am not sure what a "drifter" is, so I cannoot comment. However, the Beetle was really popular for making dune buggies, and outrageous 4 x 4's, etc. There is a LOT of parts out there for customization - especially in the US.

Yes, they are rear wheel drive. They also have above average traction in the rear because the entire drivetrain is over the rear axles. Drift cars usually have a front engine/rear drive set-up and/or high horse power to break the rear tires free in a turn.

Putting the engine in the rear gave the power and weight where it was needed for best traction. It was also simpler (and resulted in less car weight) than having into a front wheel drive.
This theory basically goes against what you want I assume, so as the others said - it won't be a drifter.

B) The beetle is air-cooled; therefore, the revs need to be kept very high into order for the engine to not…melt. Odds are, you are looking for the genitalia-enhancing noise that most “street racers” are looking for; the Beetle will not give you that.
