VW BEETLE - synonymous with comfortable and powerful driving
Volkswagen Beetle is the Volkswagen Type 1 car. It was the German car producer’s economic car manufactured in the year 1938 and was in the market till 2003. Beetle had the credit of becoming the worldwide longest-running and most-manufactured automobile of a single design platform with an air-cooled, rear-engined, rear wheel drive pattern.
It was marketed in Europe with the designations Volkswagen 1100, 1200, 1300, 1500, 1600 etc. indicating the engine size. Designed for continued high-speed on the Autobahn during 1950s, Beetle was considered as the most comfortable and powerful car in Europe.
It was the best-selling car because of high build quality and innovative advertising. Beetle led the way for the modern continental economy car along with other models such as Morris Minor, Fiat 500, Renault 4CV and Dauphine, and Citroen 2CV.
In the year 1974, the Beetle was succeeded by Volkswagen's own front-wheel drive Golf model, and in the year 1998 Volkswagen launched the "New Beetle", based on the Golf platform.
In 1999 an international poll ‘world's most influential car of the twentieth century’ was called. And the Beetle stood at fourth position after the Ford Model T, the Mini, and the Citroën DS in that poll.
Featured with painted metal surfaces inside the interior, a metal dash merging instruments in single, front windows with pivoting vent windows, heating via an air-to-air exchange manifold, Beetle’s simple design had attracted the customers.
