German Car Excellence

German cars such as Volkswagen, Porsche, Mercedes Benz, BMW and Audi are known for their engineering excellence, sleek designs, and dependability. Volkswagen was commissioned by Hitler during WWII to create an affordable "people's car" and the iconic Beetle design was born after an American reporter remarked it looked like an insect. Many other top German car companies started from inventors tinkering in garages and slowly growing, such as Daimler inventing the gas engine that enabled the automotive revolution. German engineering has produced some of the world's best and most renowned car brands.

History of VW
Volkswagen came to be during WWII when Hitler
ordered Ferdinand Porsche to construct a new “car for the
people” and the history of the VW started. Hitler had a few
specific guidelines for the car because he wanted it to be new
like the era he wanted to create. He wanted the engine in the
rear, a cheap price, cruising speed of 100 km/h, and to be very
round. When an American reporter saw the creation he thought
it looked like an insect so the beetle was born. The car sold well
and Porsche funded the new cars and Volkswagen cars were
born. The cars continued to sell and eventually were massed
produced and exported.
How other German Cars came to
be
Many other car companies are in Germany
but there are not as historically awing as VW s’
start. Many though just started with one man in a
garage and worked his way up to the top by slowly
making classic cars. It started with an inventor
named Gottlieb Daimler who in 1885 invented a
gas engine that revolutionized the car. This gave
car inventers like Rohr to do what they do best.
