Today I will present to you my greatest hobby the Volkswagen Air-cooled!
Volkswagen air-cooled means the cars with are an engine cool down with air.
Obviously the most popular that everyone knows is the beetle but other models exist like the famous bus split which is the icon of hippy movements, or yet the buggy.
I am crazy about Volkswagen cars since I was a child and that I watch the Disney movies with adventures of the super beetle number 53.
For me, this car is more than an ordinary car maybe thanks to its history because this car has been manufactured by Ferdinand Porsche for Adolph Hitler. The dictator was to manufacture a car for the German people which was not expensive and reliable.
However because of the war, Hitler abandoned the project to manufacture the war cars.
The production of the Beetle Volkswagen has begunn after the war in 1949 in Germany by the English soldiers and has ceased in 2003 in Mexico. That represents 21 529 464 vehicles which have been manufactured by VW.

For me, the beetle doesn’t represent a nasty thing. Her round shape gives her friendly appearance.
The distinctive feature of this car is that many people restore this old car which is more than 60 years and gives them different styles. For example, I will present to you the different styles:
· The Vintage consists in restoring the car like the origin model, exterior, interior, color and engine.
· The Old School consists in restoring the car like origin model (interior and exterior) but in changing the origin engine with an engine more powerful. To origin the engine represents 30hp and with the performance engine part it could reach 300hp. The purpose is to participate to the dragster races on the runway against the recent cars.
· The Restocal consist to paint the car with flashy color and to equip the car with chromed accessory (chromed rim, roof rack) and to lover the car.
· The HoodRide consist to drive a car which is the most rusty, even if there are the holes in the body and to scrape the tar to do sparks.
Thanks to its there is a great movement which assembles people around the same passion. People share the advices to restore their car, make the party, organize meeting in the whole wide world like for example in Europe, in Japan, in United Kingston and United States.
Thanks to us, the beetle could live during a long time!
