2 Answers
The first generation Beetle was born in 1938. There are three generations of Beetle models. 1. The first generation Beetle was born in Germany in 1938 and was not initially named Beetle. 2. The second generation was produced from 1998 to 2010, and its exterior design is considered a classic among Beetle enthusiasts. 3. The third generation Beetle was launched in 2013, with a vehicle grade and visual appeal that seamlessly blend with modern vehicles, featuring smoother curves. Whether it's the exterior or interior design, it exudes a retro spirit that makes it more visually pleasing.
I am particularly fascinated by automotive history, especially in the context of the Nazi era. The first-generation Beetle began production in Germany in 1938, when it was known as the KdF-Wagen, designed by Ferdinand Porsche with the aim of providing an affordable car for the common people. Production was interrupted during World War II, but after resuming in 1945, it quickly became a symbol of Europe's reconstruction. Production continued until the 1970s when it ceased in Germany, but in countries like Mexico, it officially ended only in 2003. With over 65 million units sold, it became one of the most successful cars in history. I often ponder how it adapted from wartime to peacetime, with its simple yet durable design influencing the development of many modern car models.
