Fun facts

Air-Cooled Resilience:

Air-cooled engines are ​known for their simplicity ​and durability. With fewer ​moving parts compared to ​water-cooled engines, they ​have a reputation for ​reliability and ease of ​maintenance, making them a ​favorite among DIY ​enthusiasts.

Flat-Four Fascination:

Did you know that the ​majority of air-cooled ​Volkswagens are powered by ​a unique flat-four engine ​design? This horizontally ​opposed engine layout not ​only contributes to the ​distinctive sound of these ​vehicles but also provides a ​lower center of gravity for ​improved handling.

The Beetle's Legacy:

The iconic Volkswagen ​Beetle, originally designed ​in the 1930s, holds the title ​of the most-manufactured ​car in a single platform ​worldwide. With over 21 ​million units produced, it's a ​testament to the enduring ​popularity, timeless design, ​remarkable legacy, and ​cultural impact of the ​Beetle.

Vintage Charm:

Owning an air-cooled VW is ​like driving a piece of ​history. These vintage ​vehicles exude a charm that ​is hard to replicate, offering ​a nostalgic and authentic ​driving experience that ​connects the past with the ​present.
