The idea to create a DSG, stems from a car racing event in the era of the ’70s. When it was thought about to create a sports car form it without sacrificing a lot of fuel. Then VW began to develop in 1980. After years of development experience, DSG was first used to model production vehicles in 2003 VW.

To carry out heavy work, Hitler appointed Ferdinand Porsche, an engineer who had designed the famous German Mercedes 170H. His experience also was considered quite a lot because once worked at a car factory Steyr in 1920, and has its own design studio.

But both projects are not immediately realizable, even stopped at the prototype stage. With these experiences, indirectly, Ferdinand Porsche have mastered the basic concepts of making a cheap car. Finally on June 22, 1934, Dr. Ferdinand Porsche agreed to create a “People’s Car” for Hitler.

In 1936, the prototype car is successfully created, and named as “KdF-Wagen” (Kraft durch Freude-Wagen), which has a meaning as a car that has power beyond the pleasure gained. Prototype manufactured in Stuttgart, the model tends to round, with air-cooled 4-cylinder engine that is placed on the back (rear-mounted engines).

To produce it, on May 26, 1938 the city built a new factory in KdF-Stadt, now called Wolfsburg. And on May 28, 1937, Deutsche Arbeitsfront formed a company named as the Gesellschaft zur Vorbereitung des Deutschen Volkswagens mbH (sometimes abbreviated Gezuvor)

VW Volkswagen Beetle is the designation for type 1 circulating in Indonesia. Other designations are the Volkswagen Beetle or Volkswagen Bug. This car is manufactured by a factory of German car maker Volkswagen is.
From 1938 to 2003, total production has reached 21 million units.

This car was born as an answer to the needs of cars on most of the German people in the days of Adolf Hitler’s leadership. In the early 1930s, the majority of German people who earn an average of 32 Reichsmarks, does not afford a car that was dominated by luxury-class cars.

Seeing such great potential, some car manufacturers then began designing cars that cost quite economical, among others: Mercedes 170H, Adler Autobahn, Steyr 55 and Hanomag 1.3 L.

With so many development programs (or has entered the early stages of production) cheap car that has been done, should this project can be realized. But, in fact, when Adolf Hitler stated his intention to provide low-cost cars for the German people in 1933, none of whom are invited to cooperate. Hitler preferred to develop a cheap car project through a newly formed company, funded by the State.
