About the Razorbug

What is the Razorbug?

The Razorbug is a conversion car that started as a Volkswagen Beetle. A snout, tail, and razor-edged spine were attached to the original body of the car, then it was painted its signature red color. Now its the University's mobile mascot!

What is its Purpose?

As one of the Universities most visible symbols, the Razorbug's purpose is to serve the community of Arkansas. Not only is it a way to recruit new students, its a way to bring communities together for events that promote higher education. The razorbug not only assists in delivering diplomas to the students of our online campus, it brings opportunity to students of all ages.

Is it fun to Drive?
