The People's Car
Volkswagen is German for "People's Car." The company was born in the 1930s out of political ambition and engineering audacity: Ferdinand Porsche was commissioned to design an affordable, practical car for the average German family. The result would become the Beetle (Type 1) — and the foundation of everything that followed, GTI included.
