Beetlemania
Article Abstract:
The world's best-known bug might be Volkswagenwerk AG's vehicle the Volkswagen Beetle. About 21 million of the automobiles, which were conceptualized by Adolf Hitler, have been manufactured. The car was originally developed by automobile designer Ferdinand Porsche and its opposing four-cylinder engine and logo by an engineer, Franz Reimspiess. A modification of the original Beetle called the New Beetle will be put on the market in 1998. The new version is appealing albeit expensive from an entry-level point of view.
