Volkswagen Beetle History : From Hitler to hippy
The design of this car is the most recognizable and beloved by people around the world. As you may have guessed, this is the Volkswagen Beetle. And everyone at least once, sitting in this car, can confirm that the beetle has a unique aroma of automotive oil, plastic ...
1. Meet a Beetle!
2. Car for the people. As is known, Volkswagen translates as "the car for the people." Although initially, the car had the name "KdF-Wagen", as the prefix KdF - an abbreviation for "Kraft durch Freude", which means "The Power of Joy" - officially authorized organization for the rest of the Third Reich. Adolf Hitler had ordered a Porsche car in late 1930 in order to stimulate the German economy, as well as to cause a new wave of advances in engineering, which would help the Nazis to create a war machine. Only after the Second World War, this machine has become known as the "Beetle" in the world. In the photo: Hitler admiringly looks at a new model of Volkswagen, Ferdinand Porsche and the designer shows that the car engine is behind.

11. Works of art.

New Bora Volkswagen pictures and video
Now that has been submitted to the New Volkswagen Bora can give more data and expand the gallery of the new sedan that should be in the Chinese domestic market in a few weeks. Volkswagen has taken very seriously the Beijing Auto Salon show interesting news for this country.
While both China and Shanghai-Volkswagen and FAW-VW sold a good number of Berlin, the German firm has decided to launch a new Bora compete below the Jetta and Magotan but above the Jetta and GIF and CIF Santana. In the design we can see a clear similarity with the Lavida and to some extent with the Eos in the shape of the headlights.
On the inside despite being a cheaper model may choose to taste Chinese elements, such as leather upholstery in light colors, sound hi-fi or power seats. Not reach the European market but could be sold in some Asian markets in the future. But for the moment we can not advance anything.
