History and Technology of the Volkswagen Brezel Käfer
The Volkswagen Brezel Käfer, also known as "Brezelkäfer" due to its split rear window, is an early generation of the legendary VW Beetle. This generation was built from 1949 to 1953. Originally conceived as "Volkswagen" or "People's Car," the Beetle was a project by Ferdinand Porsche under the supervision of designer Erwin Komenda. The goal was to provide an affordable and easy-to-maintain car for the population. The predecessor of this model was the KdF-Wagen, which was built during World War II and served as the basis for the later Beetle.
Technical Data and Innovations
Under the bonnet of the Volkswagen Brezel Käfer worked an air-cooled flat-four engine with 1,131 cc (69 cubic inches) displacement, which produced a power output of 25 horsepower (18 kW). The vehicle reached a top speed of around 100 km/h (62 mph). The suspension system consisted of a torsion bar suspension, allowing for a robust and durable chassis construction. The simplicity of the technology made the Beetle particularly maintenance-friendly. Also noteworthy is the rugged construction of the vehicle, which made it a popular car in many parts of the world.
