Model history

The VW Beetle is an absolute icon of automotive history. With over 21 million units produced, it was the world’s best-selling car for decades. With its air-cooled boxer engine in the rear and its unmistakable design, the Beetle shaped generations—yet technically and visually, little remains of the original “Volkswagen” from the 1940s in the later 1303 Cabrio: more comfort, more power, and a modernized body make it the most popular Beetle among collectors.
