Volkswagen Museum Tour in Wolfsburg, Germany

I've only owned several vw's, one 67 bug in the USA, one a 1978 VW Passat four door while stationed us army in West Germany late 80's-early 90's. The passat was a well worn car when I got it but still reliable. I used to have rare VW transaxle and other rare tools as a mechanic here in the usa, ....wished I never had sold them. Still have a few rarish tools though, like the flat metal engine cradle meant to be put on a hydraulic jack obviously at dealerships.

No Thing?

I have two beetles vochos, 2001 and 1990, for me they are the best cars that were within the reach of average people, it's a shame they discontinued them, greetings from Guadalajara, Mexico

Nice

the green one with canvas doors goes for 150k+ or more in the market.

Thank's a lot for this interesting video. 😊 The special Schwimm-version was pretty cool👍

That 43 made me moist.

And he didn’t even show the Bradley gt2

Like and thanks from me. Country Azerbaijan

They need my volkswagen powered forklift and an atlamatic

Check out the beehive light on the back of this bus
And the camera guy never points the camera at it at all

I WOULD LOVE TO VISIT THERE 991+691 TIMES

Volkswagen Museum Tour in Wolfsburg

The "schwimmwagen"'s hoses coming out of the rear deck - are they exhaust or are they air for the carbs?

Have YOU ever seen on early production model Karmann- Ghia Razor-Edge, the badge on the front is in fact (upright) oblong - with a round VW emblem embossed on it!

Loved particularly seeing the RAZOR-EDGED KARMANN-GHIAS! I had one like the white one - except that it had a black roof! And the cream prototype is so remarkable! Has always been my all-time favourite car!

If the SILVERBUG's interior is so special, you should have shown this!

the volkswagen you like
have switched the front with the back at the drawing table
the back looks like the front.

why do you just run through all the deformed vwtjes and pass the golf mk1 gti like a rocket.

only those are the vws that are fascinating, the vans, the beetles and the mk1 waves

the rest was just an outlier on the drawing board

Love my 72 Super Beetle

The ESVW1 from 1971/72 looks a little like the Audi 100, who was inspired by the design, but, as u pointed out, has a rear engine, flat boxer from the 411, 2 Litre , fuel injection, 100PS. Up front is a air intake , and the front is big enough for the layout of the Audi/Watercooled VW that came shortly after. I bet the secure cell and some features were used in the watercooled models.

The so called "Breitbau" was inspired by the Porsche racecars, slantnose 911 Turbo, number 935 actually, and those rear fenders were inspired by a Tuner from Munich, Koenig. " Breitbau" means something like " Widebody" . The nametag on the frontbumber says "Oettinger" which was a really good company tuning VW's engines and chassis, based in Friedrichsdorf near Frankfurt, were i live. They even engineered the first 16valve engine based on the Golf 1,6 Liter, later also for bigger engines, and they engineered the 6 cylinder water cooled boxer engine for the bus.

Can’t thank you enough for this tour. You showed many models I never knew existed. When I was based at CFB Shilo in the late 1970’s the Germans shared the base with us. I was shocked to learn the VW van was their military police vehicle and the counterpart to our Jeep was what was known in Canada as the VW Thing. The Germans had 50 cal gun mounted on it. I personally owned the Fastback, the Squareback, a 1964 camper and a 1972 and a 1974 van and a 2003 Eurovan. I am now eyeing the electric VW mini bus which is expected to come out in late 2023. Again, thanks for the tour. It was awesome.

This video ROCKS! Can you post the museum's site link (in English)? Great display of excitement that I am sure we all feel.

Thanks Eddy!

I think cool how blatant your urge to touch everything is. It shows just how enamored you are with Volkswagen. I wonder if you could've asked permission for a blanket pass to touch anything you wanted?

👋👍 - Excellent video - Thank you! (just subscribed)

Cameraman is rubbish. Could have been a great tour otherwise.

Didn't see the VW 914!

I drove a 1957 bug in 1971. It was a good car. My only dislike was top speed. 60mph with strong headwind, 70 mph with no wind and 80 mph with strong tailwind.

The militairy car you did not know is a VW Iltis, first series production 4 wheel drive car (build at the Audi factory in Ingolstadt) and the start of the quattro eara. The Iltis has a 4 cylinder water cooled engine with 1700cc. If you look at a DKW munga, you see various simularities in the body work. First build for the military purpose, later a civilian model was launched. Back in the day the Iltis costs the double of an Golf!

For being a museum, I was expecting to see a lot more of that earlier style versus the later model crap

Amazing 👍

Vw postal van

There's no way you would think that sedan was from 63. Opportunity lost?

Unreal Thanks for the look Around Wish I could Go

My dad bombed this place in WW11 !

If it hadn't been for all the skilled Turkish workers Germany imported from Turkiye after World War 2, Volkswagen ( PeoplesCar ) wouldn't be what it became & is today.

I like to invite you to a coffe in my hometown Wolfsburg

Museum in Germany has closed there Doors on Monday mostly.
