20. Volkswagen Beetle

The Volkswagen Beetle, officially the Volkswagen Type 1 or commonly known as the bug, is a two-door, four-passenger, rear-engine economy car that was manufactured and marketed by German automaker Volkswagen from 1938 until 2003. The need for this kind of vehicle, and its functionality, was formulated by the leader of Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler, who wanted an inexpensive car to be mass-produced for his country’s new road network. Ferdinand Porsche was contracted to design and build it in 1934.
