Why was the Volkswagen Beetle successful?
I'm a huge VW Beetle fan. There are some great books on this particular subject, I highly recommend reading them to get a better understanding of how and why the Beetle became so iconic. First, the classic text is ,Small Wonder: The Amazing Story of the Volkswagen Beetle: Walter Henry Nelson: 9780837601472: Amazon.com: Books, It tells the story from before ,Ferdinand Porsche, envisioned the car, through his "deal with the devil" in 1934 - the contract from Hitler to create "the people's car" (literally, "volks" + "wagen"), through the war years, the post-war revival of the old factory and the creation of ,Stadt des KdF-Wagens, (a city re-built to provide housing, etc for workers in the factory). The key turning point was when British Army Major ,Ivan Hirst, recognized that there was "something there" and pushed for the factory to be re-opened, as part of restoring the German economy after the war. The capstone was the deal formed with ,Heinrich Nordhoff, to run VW, and ultimately to take the VW Beetle to the US. This account ends in 1970, when the VW Beetle is one of the best selling cars in the US. The second, ,Battle for the Beetle: Karl Ludvigsen, Ivan Hirst: 9780837616957: Amazon.com: Books, tells the fascinating story of how exactly this (VW factory, bombed out in WW II) was turned back into a fully functioning factory. It's a race against time, a battle for resources, and a mighty, might struggle of wills. Of course, by Ludvigsen, it's a fascinating read. The final book is this ,Remember those great Volkswagen ads?: Alfredo Marcantonio, David Abbott, John O'Driscoll: 9781858946344: Amazon.com: Books, which features the iconic VW print ads from the 1960s and 1970s that really brought the VW Beetle to the attention of the American public. I, personally, think that the ads had as much to do with the success of the Beetle as anything, and it's great reading. This book was out of print for a long time, and only recently re-printed. Grab one while you can. So, books aside, there are a couple of key reasons the VW Beetle was so successful. It could be built with very few resources - it was all steel, aluminum engine and transmission, very little plastic. The manufacturing was dead simple. Repair was dead simple. However, it was designed, from jump, to be something that you could drive on the Autobahn. A vast, vast departure from similar cars, the body was super-aerodynamic thanks to ,Erwin Komenda, (who would later design many of the iconic Porsches). And, it was very fuel efficient. The original 1.2 liter engine made 30HP, the 1.3 liter successor in 1963 upped that to 40, and the later 1500/1600 engines were still below 50HP and very, very fuel efficient. And, being fully air-cooled, there were many fewer parts, and the engines were amazingly reliable. Plus they were super inexpensive, and held their value really well - it was not uncommon in the 1960s and 1970s for used VW Beetles to sell for a higher price than new models! Finally, they were driver's cars. They weren't sports cars by any means, but they were a blast to drive. Great handling, road feel, and the relatively low power engine meant that you had to run up the RPM's to go fast - it felt like a race car. Add to that movies like ,The Love Bug, which showed (simulated) racing, and you just couldn't help have a huge grin every time you drove one. In many ways, the early VWs were like Apple products - super user experience, highly reliable, "cool" by media standards, iconic design. There's probably a book waiting to be written comparing the two.
Did the Corvair really handle as dangerously as legend has it? Was it 'unsafe at any speed'?
In the late 1960s, I shared an office with a very well educated German immigrant who was very much into automobiles and fast driving. We were both young and fairly fresh out of college, so neither of us could afford really expensive cars at the time. Hans had a BMW 2002, a Shelby Mustang . . . and a Corvair (?!). For awhile, we commuted together, and eventually I drove all three. The Corvair was great fun on winding, twisty country roads IF you understood how it handled and drove it accordingly. To take a sharp corner quickly, you just cranked in a turn or two of the wheel and got the rear end to slide out and start coming around. Then you straightened out the wheel as the car continued to slide, then jerked it slightly the other way to stop the skid. It had slow Impala-like six-turns-lock-to-lock steering and that made for a lot of steering wheel winding when cornering briskly. It was fun for ME (and Hans) to drive, though if someone like my mother had been at the wheel, she could easily have panicked when the rear end started to come around and then spun off the road backwards. BTW, many years after Nader wrote “Unsafe at Any Speed,” the truth came out about the Ford Falcon commercials in which swerving caused a Corvair driver to lose control and roll the car. Ford had added rear-end weight and/or altered the Corvair’s rear suspension, and paid a stunt driver to swerve violently enough to roll it over. The Corvair’s swing-axle and rear weight bias was no worse than that of the Volkswagen “beetle” (I later owned one) or of its French contemporary, the Renault Dauphine, which Mechanix Illustrated tester Tom McCahill ACCIDENTALLY rolled while doing an obstacle avoidance test. The Corvair’s low center of gravity probably made it a bit less prone to rolling over. But it was made in America, and was sold to folks accustomed to nose-heavy Chevy V-8s, and THAT contributed to a lot to its reputation for poor handling. Hans taught me a lot about cars. As for his other two cars, the Shelby was probably the most brutal racing machine I’ve ever driven, and the BMW was such a jewel that I later bought one myself. A decade or so later, after Hans and I had gone our separate ways, I ran into him in an airport, and by then he was a vice president of a major government research contractor and told me he had a Ferrari F40 on order.
Can men drive Volkswagen Beetles?
I could introduce you to The Mouse, my 63k original mile two-owner '63 VW Beetle rag-top sunroof, with a '63 Porsche Super 90 engine and brakes.... but alas, she's languishing in a collection in Japan these days. Or Denny Aker's '60 VW Beetle with a mid-50s Porsche 550 Spyder engine... Or better, you could go to a Bug In where you'll not only find men driving Beetles, but drag racing them, and doing all manner of other manly things. Oh yeah - this has been going on since the 70s. So, yes.
What are the best handling and fun cars to drive at low speeds (within the speed limits eg 20 mph to 75 mph)?
JGM, is on the right track here, but I'll add another dimension: what you really want is a tight suspension and an ,underpowered ,engine. Why? Simple reality: you want the sensation of going really fast, but at street-legal(-ish) speeds. If you get too much power, the car will feel like it's loafing instead of giving you that flat-out racing feeling. And then you'll really want to be running along more at 80MPH+ to get the sensation that you're looking for. My recommendation is to look to the past. Here are some great suggestions, all reasonably inexpensive, and readily available. MG Midget, You ideally want a Mk III ('66-'74) with the 1275cc engine or the 1500 ('75-'80, shown above). The older cars, while arguably "better" are becoming collector classics and not worth the premium for what you're seeking. With a staggering 14 second 0-60 time, you feel like ,Stirling Moss, at the ,24 Hours of Le Mans,, just going to Starbucks. Fiat 124 Sport Spider, Same idea, but with an Italian flavor. Porsche 914, Good ones are getting expensive ($10k+) but worth it. My fave for "daily driving" of the type inquired is the '74 1.8 liter. Make sure it's got fuel injection intact instead of a "carb conversion" for best performance, reliability, and resale value. And for a slightly different twist.... the venerable ,Volkswagen Beetle,. Not your dead stock Beetle, a slightly improved version... Take your Beetle, lower it a bit, put on wider wheels and tires, stiffer front sway bar, beef up the engine (and brakes), and voila! Instant "sports car". Seriously, don't overlook this one.
If I wanted more speed out of my Volkswagen Beetle, would it be a good idea to replace the carburetor with a Porsche 356 carb? What about a 911 carb?
Air cooled Beetles from the factory generally had a single one barrel carb. Since the 50s the “hot setup” has been to convert to dual carbs for more power. Prior to 1967, that done by adding dual single barrel carbs (a factory setup on some Type IIIs). ‘67 and later with the dual port heads the hot setup was dual two barrel carbs, either Dellorto (preferred) or Weber (cheaper but harder to jet right). The Solexes used on Porsche 356 Super 90s and SCs look like the Webers but are completely different. There were a few custom manifolds made but they are super rare. The Zeniths used on the rest of the 356s so far as I know never had manifolds for the 1600DP VW engines - they were not as good as the Solexes and since you could get Solexes from ‘60 on… it just never made sense. The hot setup these days is a dual Weber 40IDF setup. There are people who sell 44s and 48s but those are for enlarged full race engines; you can’t drive anything around town bigger than a 40 Expect to pay about $850 for a kit, complete. The real hot setup is EFI like the CB Performance (originally Claudes Buggies) Gen4 - which will set you back about $3k
What if I gave Hitler an Audi R8 Spyder and a Bentley GT3 race car?
Hitler would sell them, and take a Porsche. Because Porsche is the sport version of his baby : Volkswagen Beetle. It looks like the Porsche 356 right ? But Hitler would buy the fastest Porsche ever : The 919. And this Porsche 919 roughly beats Audi R8 Spyder and Bentley Continental GT3.
