Vehicle description
Model history
From 1938, the Volkswagen Beetle conquered the streets as an iconic car. Originally designed by Ferdinand Porsche, the Beetle quickly became the epitome of the affordable, reliable vehicle. Its unique shape and air-cooled boxer engine made it unmistakable. After the Second World War, the Beetle experienced worldwide popularity and established itself as the Volkswagen Bug in the USA. Millions were produced, making it the best-selling car in history. Its popularity lasted until production ceased in 2003, although it has since been modernized. In the 1969 cult film Herbie, the Volkswagen Beetle appeared as Herbie, number 53, a lively and idiosyncratic car with a character of its own. Herbie became the endearing star of the film, delighting viewers and fans around the world.
