TIVolkswagen Beetle Evolution (1938-Present) - Witness the incredible eighty-year timeline of the world's most recognizable car. The journey begins in darkness with the 1938 KdF-Wagen, a military design that transformed into the civilian 1949 Type 1 "Split Window" Export. While the rare 1949 Type 14A "Hebmüller" Cabriolet offered elegance, the mass market embraced the 1953 "Oval Window" and the definitive 1958 "Rectangular Window" era.
As safety regulations tightened, the 1967 "US Facelift" introduced vertical headlights, paving the way for the larger 1971 Super Beetle 1302 and the curved-windshield 1973 Super Beetle 1303. Performance was briefly king with the legendary 1973 Beetle GSR "Yellow/Black Racer", while the classic shape survived for decades as the 1992 Mexican Beetle "Vocho". The legend was finally reimagined with the 1998 New Beetle and the monstrous 2001 New Beetle RSi, followed by the sharp 2006 New Beetle Facelift. The story concludes with a return to masculine roots in the 2012 The Beetle (A5) and waves goodbye with the rugged 2016 Beetle Dune.
