This guest blog post will provide you with fun facts about the brand that casual readers might not know.

• Volkswagen means “People’s Car” in German and its slogan “Das Auto” means “The Car” in German. Concise, but it’s worked for 70 years!

• The legendary VW Beetle – which is the car most enthusiasts see as the quintessential Volkswagen model – was mass produced right from 1938 until 2003. In total, about 21 million were made over the years, 15.5 million being made in Germany.

• Not many people know that Volkswagen created the fastest car ever seen which goes at an impressive 267.85 mph. Okay, so it was through their Bugatti Company which they own, but the car is very impressive.

• Not many people know that VW actually loses money with every sale of this car – the Bugatti Veyron – This is because the production costs are much more than they can sell the car for. This is even more surprising considering that the Bugatti Veyron is the most expensive modern car in the world at USD $1,900,000.
