VW Beetle is the most unique car ever. Who does not know him? The shape is so quirky so easy to remember people. Not only the shape, performance was very tough in his era.

Volkswagen was originally founded in 1937 by the Nazi Trade Union called the German Workers Union or in German Deutsche Arbeitsfront. Until the early 1930s, many automotive manufacturers in Germany produced luxury cars. The average German can not buy it.

Because the market looks very potential, then some car manufacturers in Germany to create projects for "People's Car" such as Mercedes 170H, Steyr 55, Adler AutoBahn, Hanomag 1.3L, and others. Until 1933, the projects were still in development stage.

Adolf Hitler wants a cheap car called "People's Car" or Volkswagen. What Hitler wants is a standard car with a capacity of 2 adults and 3 children. Has a speed of 100 km / hour. The people's car will be available to the Nazis at 990 Reichsmark, or a motorcycle at that time.

The VW Beetle car designer is still controversial. Officially, Dr. Ferdinand Porsche was named the first frog car designer. Dr. Ferdinand Porsche was chosen to develop Hitler's car project.

Actually in the 1920s, Josef Ganz designed a car similar to that designed by Porsche. Even Ganz gave a slogan on a "German People's Car" or German Volkswagen commercial. But the Ganz designed is smaller and cheaper.

This unique car has the original name Volkswagen Type 1. But after World War II, changed its name to VW Beetle or VW Kafer in German. In Indonesia dubbed the frog car.

When the international poll was held, VW Frog was ranked fourth most influential car award, after Ford Model T, Mini and Citroën DS.Screenshot_2018-06-20-02-05-58-707_com.instagram.android.png
