Produce more than 65 years, with 21.5 million users all over the globe, is still active in the world. Hitler's Nazi empire from the national car to depict people of the world's Volkswagen. The twentieth century's greatest automotive engineers - Dr. Ferdinand Porsche • achievements of the twentieth century's greatest automotive products, and perhaps vice versa, also Dr. Porsche with the Beatles or together to create a legend of the automotive industry history.
In 1926, as Daimler - Benz Technical Director of the Ferdinand • Porsche has a new idea. He was not satisfied only to design and manufacture of high-end luxury cars and high performance racing, in his view, everyone can design a car with the economy is now the best thing to do. But he did not get the idea of Daimler - Benz's full support. In 1929, Porsche chose to leave Daimler - which was Germany's largest automobile company, was removed to Steyr Motors. However, bad luck, in the context of the Great Depression, Steyr company in financial trouble, Porsche unemployed.
April 1931, Porsche returned to Stuttgart, Anton Piech and Adolf • • Rosenberg founded with funding from the Porsche engine car design consultant, and hired former friends and colleagues designer Karl • Rabe, Irvine • Ke Manda body designer, engineer Franz Vail • Limestone • Kisa Olympus and his son Ferry Porsche •.
The company began receiving orders by some manufacturers design to maintain operations, as the business increases, Porsche forward to continuing to complete his plan in Daimler - Benz car failed to achieve the economic plan. Initially, the Porsche to do with his life insurance mortgage loan, in exchange for funds to promote the project.
Soon, motorcycle manufacturers Zuendapp find the Porsche, and are willing to sponsor the project. In 1931, the Zuendapp factory in Nuremberg, the first Porsche Typ 12 (Porsche Design products are starting from Typ 7 named, is said to win the customers trust in this young company) prototype completed. 1932, Zuendapp has produced three prototypes, the car can accommodate four passengers. Irvine • Ke Manda body responsible for the design, and Reutter in Stuttgart processing plant. Although Porsche strongly opposed, but eventually in accordance with the requirements of the commissioning party Zuendapp using 19kW 5-cylinder radial engine, rear-wheel drive after the, body weight 600kg, maximum speed of 80 km.
Road test results show that the vehicle's engine cooling problems, the gearbox is also unsatisfactory. President of the mass to be the final Zuendapp high investment on the grounds, stop funding the project.
Has produced four Typ 12 prototype, there are two already damaged, Porsche has also retained one-year period 1944-1945 during the Allied bombing of Stuttgart was destroyed. The only existing prototype of a Typ 12 is housed in an industrial museum in Nuremberg.
Things and soon a turning point. In 1933, the main production motorcycle NSU D-Rad from the United Auto manufacturers intend to return to the field of automobile manufacturing, production of a small car. President Fritz von Falkenhayn commissioned Porsche to design a economy car, you can design from Zuendapp models, so Porsche decided to use air-cooled rear engine.
New car, code-named Porsche Typ 32, using the rear air-cooled four-cylinder boxer engine, tubular frame, the crank arm front suspension, swing axle rear suspension, the car's basic structure and later KdF -Wagen is very close. Prototypes produced a total of three, two of the use of semi-soft synthetic leather top body, the other a hardtop version.
July 1934, three kind of car road test work completed, the results are optimistic, with only high-speed stabilizer bar fracture and engine noise is too large, and these are solved. However, according to NSU estimated production cost of the work will take about 10 million marks, so NSU choose to end the project.
On the other hand, almost Typ 32 models developed at the same time, the Berlin Motor Show in 1933, Hitler made a national car project, Dr. Porsche until finally the long-awaited opportunity.
"Hitler's own maps of the" people's car "sketches"
Will surface in time, Hitler requested to Porsche, the German people to design a car. According to Hitler's demands, the car must provide two adults and three children traveling in space, the maximum speed of 100 km, to meet the needs of highway driving, average fuel consumption of no more than one hundred kilometers 7 liters in 1000 to control prices Mark below.
"Hitler's ideal of the national car, to be able to carry two adults, three children, and bring their luggage."
"January 17, 1934 Ferdinand Porsche completed a detailed plan for the national car project."
January 17, 1934, Porsche presented a detailed project plan. On 22 June the same year, Porsche Automobile Manufacturers Association signed with the Empire Volkswagen prototype manufacturing contract. Porsche contract to be completed within 10 months of prototype manufacturing
