Model history

The VW Beetle, officially known as the VW Type 1, was built from 1938 onwards and over the decades became a symbol of the German economic miracle. Originally conceived as a "people's car," little remained of the initial designs over the decades—except for the basic concept: an air-cooled boxer engine in the rear, unmistakable shape, and robust technology. With over 21 million units produced, the Beetle became the most-built car of its time. The 1303 Cabriolet, which was produced until 1980, is now a particularly sought-after classic.
