swagen Beetle also got great miles per gallon with a drag coefficentcy of zero point four on

The Volkswagen Beetle was a very hipster car when it was first designed. Within the e

The Peoples Car

In 1933, Adolf Hitler gave the order to Ferdinand Porsche

to develop a Volkswagen (literally, "people's car" in

German, pronounced. The epithet Volks- literally, "peo-

ple's-" had been previously applied to other Nazi sponsored

consumer goods such as the Volksempfnger ("people's

radio"). Hitler required a basic vehicle capable of transport-

ing two adults and three children at 100 km/h (62 mph).The "People's Car" would be available to citizens of the

Third Reich through a savings scheme, or Sparkarte at 990

Reichsmark, about the price of a small motorcycle.
