Description

A fascinating exploration of VW, one of the most revered and enduring international car brands, with dynamic photography and insightful text that explains why we love them and why you should want to own one. With a second-to-none reputation for reliability, innovation and style, Volkswagen is one of the world's best-loved car manufacturers. From the adorable and unforgettable Type One, otherwise known as the Beetle or Bug, which reached huge heights of popularity in the 1960s to today's groundbreaking hybrid and electric vehicles, good design has always been at the forefront of VW's philosophy. This fascinating book, written by a long-time VW fanatic who is also an expert in art and design, traces the development of Volkswagen design throughout the years, examining the most exciting and stylish models - not only the Beetle but the huge range of family cars, camper vans, SUVs and modern city cars the company has produced throughout the years, and not forgetting the iconic Golf GTI. The perfect gift for the petrolhead in your life, whether they own a VW or not, this quirky book explores everything that's great about this classic brand.
