The VW Beetle (Type 5C) (in France Coccinelle, in Italy Maggiolino, in Iceland Bjalla, in Brazil Fusca) is an automobile of the Volkswagen brand whose retro design is based on the VW Beetle. The vehicle succeeded the New Beetle (Type 9C), which was produced until summer 2010, and was simply called the “Beetle” - as the predecessor model was also known in English-speaking countries. On April 18, 2011, Volkswagen AG presented the new Beetle as “The 21st Century Beetle” in the run-up to the Shanghai Motor Show. On the same day, Volkswagen presented the Beetle together with MTV and international music stars on the MTV World Stage (source: Wikipedia).
