The Beetle: The most charismatic car of the 20th century

With over 21 million units produced, the Volkswagen Beetle is one of the most recognized and best-selling cars in history. Its origins date back to the 1930s, promoted by the German government as the “people’s car” (Volkswagen). After World War II, the Beetle became popular due to its low fuel consumption, mechanical reliability, and friendly design.

The 1200 Standard model from 1960 featured a 4-cylinder air-cooled boxer engine with 1192 cc and 34 hp, capable of reaching around 115 km/h, ideal for its time. Its rounded shape, rear engine and rear-wheel drive marked an era in European and global motoring history.
