The Volkswagen Beetle - officially the Volkswagen Type 1,
informally in Germany the K�fer German, "beetle" and in parts of
the English-speaking world the Bug - is a two-door, four passenger,
rear-engine economy car manufactured and marketed by German
automaker Volkswagen from 1938 until 2003. The need for this kind
of car, and its functional objectives, was formulated by the leader
of Nazi Germany who wanted a cheap, simple car to be mass-produced
for his country's new road network. The government contracted
Ferdinand Porsche in 1934 to design and build it. Porsche and his
team took until 1938 to finalize the design. The influence on
Porsche's design of other contemporary cars, such as the Tatra V570
and the work of Josef Ganz remains a subject of dispute. The result
was one of the first rear-engine cars since the Brass Era. With
21,529,464 produced, the Beetle is the longest-running and
most-manufactured car of a single platform ever made. This car
includes; AM/FM Radio, manual convertible top, vinyl interior, seat
belts and radial tires. To view the car in greater detail,
