A German economic miracle - like hardly any other German engine construction, the VW boxer engine symbolizes the rise of Germany to one of the most powerful industrial nations in the world. In 1946, the series production of the air-cooled 4 cylinder with the characteristic engine sound began together with the VW Beetle. In 1949, the engine finally found its way in the VW T1, the world famous "Bulli". This unit is still one of the most-built vehicle engines of all time worldwide – and is warmly revered by countless old-timer fans around the world.
