The VW Beetle Club Última Edición e.V. presented two special Beetles at the 26th Techno Classica in Essen (26-30 March 2014): an electric Beetle and one of the last Última Edición Beetles built.
The club committee had managed to get this electric Beetle on the club stand. The electric Beetle was a big attraction - a car that learned to drive in 1938 was electrified in 2013 in a 1995 model. The Beetle has always been in demand, especially in the ongoing discussion about electric cars. The car, produced by WEMAG AG under the name ReeVOLT!, was explained in detail to visitors by two experts.
The torque with which this Beetle pulls away is quite astonishing - and without any noise, just the sound of the tyres!
The Última Edición Beetle in Harvest Moon beige was photographed again and again. We had placed the identical 1:18 model on the roof - a brilliant photo opportunity. These Ultima Beetles are very popular with collectors, and people keep asking where they can get one of these UE Beetles. There are only a few left, between 450 and 500 of these models came to Europe out of a total of 3000.
