History The Volkswagen Beetle was originally conceived in the 1930s by Dr. Ferdinand Porsche as a practical and affordable car for the German public. Although the Second World War delayed its commercial success, the post-war period saw the Beetle become a global phenomenon. With over 20 million units produced, it stands as one of the most successful car designs of all time. The 1966 model year is especially beloved by collectors, striking a balance between the charm of early production Beetles and the benefits of modernisation. Its simple engineering, enduring reliability and unique shape have made it a cultural icon recognised around the world. Tamiya’s detailed kit celebrates this legacy with precision and style.
