Käfer (in German aka "beetle") designed by Ferdinand Porsche





https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ko6uIZlUbk0/UaJF4uglHwI/AAAAAAAAN-8/I-Z5elrvdZ0/s640/IMG_1170.JPG



champion of all champion

with the record of longest-running and most-manufactured car of a single design platform, worldwide.





The People`s Car"

In 1931, Ferdinand Porsche developed the Porsche Type 12, or "Auto für Jedermann" (car for everybody) for Zündapp



Volkswagen (aka, "people`s car" in German)



https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Nj6auNqoKB0/UaJF_B0PtSI/AAAAAAAAN_M/sOc0T2w6qzU/s640/IMG_1168.JPG



the Beetle was more comfortable and powerful than most European small cars, having been designed for sustained high speed on the Autobahn, being the top seller in US





https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-cx3W6_BZ9XA/UaJEMVS5OJI/AAAAAAAAN7s/ny4ABgxRvYs/s640/IMG_1112.JPG

The engine must be powerful enough for rapid sustained cruising on Germany’s new Autobahnen



some adds on

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FMknm_nskjA/UadUMfKSShI/AAAAAAAAOXI/ek5t8NCOpUs/s640/IMG_1113.JPG



Everything must be designed to ensure worn out parts could be quickly and inexpensively exchanged. The engine must be air-cooled because, as Hitler explained, not every country doctor had his own garage



"The engine fires up immediately without a choke. It has tolerable road-handling and is economical to maintain. Although a small car, the engine has great elasticity and gave the feeling of better output than its small nominal size."



gore by Zoro sword???



https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-nwm0YIRHegc/UaJFrsTMKlI/AAAAAAAAN-c/D3PnnS36zC4/s512/IMG_1164.JPG





the owner had the choice between buying a Porsche or rebuilding his 3rd beetle.....and many of the parts imported in from US, his children loves this than a Porsche .....as it might not fit them in.....
