VW Beetle In 1945, the first VW Beetle rolled off the production line in Wolfsburg and quickly captured hearts. The small, charming car not only looked good, but it was also affordable, robust, and powerful. Dubbed the Beetle by a New York Times reporter, it rapidly became a cult object. In 1998, the original Beetle was replaced by the reinterpretation known as the New Beetle. After nearly 70 years and more than 22 million cars produced, the last example left the VW plant in Puebla, Mexico. In the siku fleet, it now becomes immortal: We present the little cult car with its iconic round shapes for the first time as a detailed replica in blister size. The body of the Ovali is made of sturdy metal, and the tires are crafted from high-quality rubber.
