The Volkswagen Beetle-officially the Volkswagen Type 1,[a] is an economy car that was built by the German company Volkswagen (VW) from 1938 until 2003.[7] It has a rear-engine design with a two-door body style and is intended for five occupants (later, Beetles were restricted to four people in some countries).[8][9][10]
The need for a people's car (Volkswagen in German), its concept and its functional objectives were formulated by the leader of Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler, who wanted a cheap, simple car to be mass-produced for his country's new road network (Reichsautobahn). Members of the National Socialist party, with an additional dues surcharge, were promised the first production, but the Spanish Civil War shifted most production resources to military vehicles to support the Nationalists under Francisco Franco.
