The history of Volkswagen
Volkswagen's complex history connects its origins under Nazi rule, the Beetle, the Golf and the evolution of modern hot hatches.
01 / 04
1937: origins that must be acknowledged
The organisation behind Volkswagen was created in Germany in 1937 during the Nazi period. The company was drawn into the wartime economy, including the use of forced labour.
After the Second World War, the factory was administered by the British and production of civilian vehicles resumed.
02 / 04
The Beetle becomes internationally recognised
The Beetle grew into one of the world's most widely recognised cars. Postwar export success and expanding production transformed Volkswagen into a major car manufacturer.
03 / 04
1974: a new generation with the Golf
Volkswagen introduced the first Golf in 1974, moving to a front-engined, front-wheel-drive design. The Golf GTI followed in 1976 and helped define the modern hot hatch.
04 / 04
Golf R, 4MOTION and ABT
The Golf R32 launched in 2002, preceding later Golf R generations. Volkswagen's performance hatchbacks developed increasingly powerful engines and all-wheel drive.
The white Golf 8 R ABT offered by DK Approved is a 400 PS partner vehicle with DSG and 4MOTION.
