Superleggera Beetle? 450 kg!

• 

With 450 kg this must be the lightest VW beetle. It was built with great care in 1947 and is a Type I socalled Brezel beetle. Now many of you will protest on the weight we suggest here. To make it even worse,  it's not an alloy version or similar, it's made of the same steel as the original. Still a few hundred kilo's are missing. We'll show where the Wolfsburg engineers did cut   a few corners....  More info was to be found on the adjacent info-board. (photos by editorJB)
