Historical Original – Volkswagen New Beetle

The Volkswagen New Beetle, first presented in 1997, is a modern interpretation of the iconic car – the Beetle (Volkswagen Type 1). The design was inspired by the legendary silhouette of the original “Beetle” from 1938 to 2003, referencing Volkswagen’s rich heritage. This version was produced mainly in Mexico and Germany, and the car gained popularity worldwide, especially in Europe, North America, and Asia during 1997–2011.
