This unique car is a Volkswagen Beetle, or Volkswagen Type 1 is a small car manufactured by Volkswagen. Also known as the VW Beetle in Indonesia or the Bug in the United States, or Käfer in Germany. VW Beetle is one of the most easily recognized cars in the world, due to its distinctive shape.

In 1933, Adolf Hitler commissioned Porsche to develop a People's Car in Germany called Volks Wagen. The car can accommodate two adults and two children with space for their luggage. Not grandiose, the VW Beetle at that time could only travel a maximum speed of 100 km / hour.

Launching from Time, the VW beetle is a symbol of the revival of the post-war German economy and an increase in the welfare of the middle class.
