1998
January 07, 2020, 11:57 ISTBeetle received its first proper iteration upgrade after 60 years. The new Beetle saw VW ditch the original rear-engine design and shift to a front-mounted 115PS 2.0-litre engine. Built on the contemporary Golf platform with styling recalling the original Type 1, it remained in production through 2010, and was succeeded in 2011 by the Beetle (A5), the last variant of the Beetle.
