1999 Volkswagen Beetle Sport Burago 1:24











El Volkswagen New Beetle (Tipo 9C) es un automóvil de turismo producido por el fabricante alemán Volkswagen de 1998 a 2020. Es una reinterpretación del Volkswagen Tipo 1, con el cual no comparte elementos estructurales ni mecánicos. Se ofrece con carrocerías cupé y descapotable de dos puertas. Su aparición en el mercado se dio en una época marcada por el lanzamiento de reinterpretaciones de otros modelos icónicos de la industria automotriz mundial, sin embargo a pesar de no estar catalogado en un segmento específico que lo ponga en rivalidad con otros modelos, comercialmente es rivalizado con el MINI reinterpretado por la alemana BMW.
El proyecto comenzó con el Concept One, un automóvil concepto diseñado en el Centro de Diseño que posee la marca en Simi Valley, California en 1994 por J Mays. Este concepto tuvo su inspiración en las líneas del Volkswagen Tipo 1, incluso en su diseño interior lo recuerda, tomando varios elementos significativos como la asidera que se localiza arriba de la guantera, las bandas de hule en el poste B para que los pasajeros traseros se sujeten, el cuadro de instrumentos circular, las redes portaobjetos en las puertas e incluso el famoso florero en el tablero. Fue presentado al público y la prensa especializada en ocasión del Salón del Automóvil de Detroit de 1994. Este concepto estaba hecho con una plataforma de Volkswagen Polo y utilizaba unas grandes llantas de 17 pulgadas con neumáticos de perfil bajo, que presentaban un gran logo VW al centro, recordando a los del Volkswagen Tipo 1 de los años 50. Su color de carrocería es el amarillo. Igualmente, se manejó la idea de un modelo cero emisiones a partir de este concepto. Las reacciones a este auto concepto fueron tan positivos, que Volkswagen consideró seriamente la producción en serie de este modelo.

1974 Volkswagen Type 181 Kurierwagen N4020 Beige Safari México Hot Wheels Malaysia











From Fandom:

The Volkswagen Type 181 "Kurierwagen" (German for "Messenger Car"), popularly known in the United Kingdom as the Trekker (Type 182 in all right-hand drive markets), in the United States as the Thing, and in Mexico as the Safari, was a small military vehicle produced by Volkswagen from 1969 to 1983, although civilian sales stopped in 1980. It was based in part on Volkswagen's Beetle Type I, and was a continuation and improvement over the Kübelwagen, which had been used by the German military during World War II. Like the Beetle upon which it was based, the Volkswagen Type 181 it is rear-engined with an air-cooled engine.

In 2016, the tooling for the Type 181 was changed while the Volkswagen 5-Pack was being produced. In the middle of the production run, the Type 181's bumpers were made to be part of the base; due to that, it is possible to find two variants of the pack, where the Type 181 has either metal or plastic bumpers.

1993 McLaren F1 Maisto 1:24












From Wikipedia:

The McLaren F1 is a sports car designed and manufactured by British automobile manufacturer McLaren Cars, and powered by the BMW S70/2 V12 engine. The original concept was conceived by Gordon Murray. Murray was able to convince Ron Dennis to back the project. He engaged Peter Stevens to design the exterior and interior of the car. On 31 March 1998, the XP5 prototype with a modified rev limiter set the Guinness World Record for the world's fastest production car, reaching 240.1 mph (386.4 km/h), surpassing the modified Jaguar XJ220's 217.1 mph (349 km/h) record from 1992.

The car features numerous proprietary designs and technologies; it is lighter and has a more streamlined structure than many modern sports cars, despite having one seat more than most similar sports cars, with the driver's seat located in the centre (and slightly forward) of two passengers' seating positions, providing driver visibility superior to that of a conventional seating layout. It was conceived as an exercise in creating what its designers hoped would be considered the ultimate road car. Despite not having been designed as a track machine, a modified race car edition of the vehicle won several races, including the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans, where it faced purpose-built prototype race cars. Production began in 1992 and ended in 1998. In all, 106 cars were manufactured, with some variations in the design.

In 1994, the British car magazine Autocar stated in a road test regarding the F1, "The McLaren F1 is the finest driving machine yet built for the public road." They further stated, "The F1 will be remembered as one of the great events in the history of the car, and it may possibly be the fastest production road car the world will ever see." In 2005, Channel4 placed the car at number one on their list of the 100 greatest cars, calling it "the greatest automotive achievement of all time". In popular culture, the McLaren F1 has earned its spot as 'The greatest automobile ever created' and 'The Most Excellent Sports Car of All Time' amongst a wide variety of car enthusiasts and lovers. Notable past and present McLaren F1 owners include Elon Musk, Rowan Atkinson, Jay Leno, George Harrison, Ralph Lauren, Nick Mason, and the Sultan of Brunei. In the April 2017 issue of Top Gear Magazine, the McLaren F1 was listed as one of the fastest naturally aspirated cars currently available in the world, and in the same league as the more modern vehicles such as the Ferrari Enzo and Aston Martin One-77 despite being produced and engineered 10 years prior to the Ferrari Enzo and 17 years prior to the Aston Martin One-77.
