The end of the road for Beetlemania: The last ever VW Beetle has rolled off the production line, signalling the end of an icon of motoring that was born when Adolf Hitler demanded the creation of a ‘people’s car’<\/span><\/h1>\n

\n<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

The world\u2019s-biggest selling car is no more. This week the last ever VW Beetle rolled off the production line and ended an astonishing era.<\/span><\/p>\n

The original car was designed by Ferdinand Porsche in 1938 after Adolf Hitler ordered him to create a \u2018People\u2019s car\u2019 \u2014 or Volks Wagen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Only a handful were made before World War II intervened and production was not restarted until the late Forties. The quirky motor took the world by storm \u2014 and even became a Hollywood star in its own right in the Herbie films.<\/span><\/p>\n

The old air-cooled model was eventually phased out and replaced in 1997 by a new version that was more sophisticated but less fun.<\/span><\/p>\n

And by the time the final Bug was made in Puebla, Mexico, VW had sold more than 21 million Beetles…<\/span><\/p>\n
