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.

If you are talking about the K-7, be assured that it is as much

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).
