The history of the VW Beetle. One of the Worlds Classic Cars
The VW Beetle is one of the most famous cars in history. The beetle came out initially in 1938 and has been in production in one form or another for most of the years 1938-2003. The VW Beetle is without doubt one of the most classic cars history. And the story of the VW Beetle is an interesting fact.
The original idea for the VW Beetle, or what is also known as the VW Bug, came from Adolf Hitler. It is said that he had the idea of a car "peoples" in 1924, while forming in jail. He wanted a car that anyone could afford, and also to help with the unemployment problem that existed in post WW1 Germany. In 1933 the Nazi party came to power and Hitler raised the issue of road construction Car special people, and in 1933 the government began a program of construction of "highways" for German drivers. Volkswagen (VW) is the German name for peoples car.
Hitler wanted the design project for the beetle up and gave the job to Ferdinand Porshe, later become well known for the "Porsche" cars that bore his name. Hitler specifies a number of criteria, including a top speed of 62 mph (100 kmh) at least 42 miles to the gallon fuel consumption, capable of carrying at least 2 adults and 3 children and to sell for less than it was at the time the equivalent pounts 86 (UK currency).
Thus began the history of the VW Beetle, arguably the most famous car in history.
The big question was the engine that will be used and the placement of the engine, and in 1935 an Austrian engineer came up with a design for a flat four engine, Porshe previously decided the engine must be rear mounted. This engine was an air cooled engine, and it was cheaper to build, and this engine powered hundreds of thouands of beetles in the next 40.
And the name even came from Adolf Hitler. " He said a car that "looked like a beetle" so it was well optimized, hence the name Beetle. Then, "Bug." And history records that the VW Beetle body shape changed little over many decades.
The basic style VW Beetle changed little over many decades, though of course there are many different models, but each model had the same basic form of beetle, and the engine changed very little. The Volkswagen Beetle production stopped in 1980, at which point it had become the most popular car of all worlds.
The VW Beetle is not the fastest car in the world. It will not technically 0-50 mph in 13 seconds, a little slower than most cars current, but had other features that made it popular. It was cheap to buy and run, easy to work with and reliable. I only had a small engine, and although originally required by Hitler to make 42 miles per gallon, actually did a little over 30 mpg. That, however, is still very good compared to many modern cars.
That's the basic story of the VW Beetle. It was and is one of the worlds classic cars. It gave rise to a whole generation of great small cars, as the VW Golf, and hundreds of thousands sold. It has also been the basis for many other vehicles. For example, many vehicles like buggies are based on a VW chassis BeeTel simple.
The history of the Beetle is interesting. And for those interested in owning a VW Beetle are still a number of high quality second-hand stock beetles. And there are countless restored beetle car clubs with many Beetle owners.
So if you love your own piece of automotive history to grab a VW Beetle. The VW Beetle history has shown that it is one of the worlds great cars.
