The old car ploughs into the water and continues along the flooded road with apparent ease.
The water level reaches above the headlights as the driver slowly manoeuvres through the road’s deepest point.
The Beetle owner reaches the other side without a hitch as a crowd of onlookers coo in admiration and start clapping.
The Herbie-like scene was filmed in the city of Pachuca, located northeast of Mexico City, Mexico.
According to reports, while the old VW handled the flooded streets with ease, the fire department was called out to help multiple trapped motorists in the city.
