The Volkswagen Beetle was designed by Ferdinand Porsche, the founder of Porsche AG. The first Porsches (the 64 and 356) and many other Porsche models borrowed heavily from elements found in the original VW Beetle. Among these are the air-cooled engine, its location in the rear of the car, and the "bug-look" headlights.
Over the years, the underpowered Beetle has evolved into several generations of beautiful, high performance marvels from Porsche. The two companies have collaborated heavily over the years and today Porsche AG holds just over 35% ownership of Volkswagen AG; VW is a subsidiary of Porsche Automobil Holding SE.
Plus I've had a bunch of Beetles and this is the latest addition to the fleet.
Why the Volkswagen reference?
