The VW Beetle has been called one of the hottest girl cars ever, a toy car and even the funniest car on the planet. I don’t think such suggestions are true, but the only one thing I know for sure – Beetle is cool and it is the most well known cars in history. Both new VW Beetle and used VW Beetle are hot and popular.

VW Beetle

The Beetle was created in 1938, and it is one of the most classic cars in history. However the history is catching and interesting: the car is known as the VW Bug and idea of its creation came from Adolf Hitler. Initially, he wanted manufacturers to create an affordable “people car,” what is more Hitler wanted the car to be able transport at least 2 adults and 3 children, have a top speed of 62 mph (100 kmh), and low fuel consumption.

The biggest question was the engine. According to the designer it should be rear mounted and an air cooled one. Such a device was rather powerful and extremely cheap to build. Adolf Hitler told that the car must “look like a beetle.” Despite numerous contradictions both people and manufacturers seem to love this style, since it changed little over many decades.

The VW Beetle is not a bloody speed monster, it makes only 0 – 50 mph in 13 seconds, however, the car is attractive, easy to drive and reliable. To be an owner of a Beetle means to choose style and freedom!
