100 million VWs



by Trish Whelan. The 100 millionth Volkswagen has been built. It's a Touran 1.9-litre TDI in metallic Reflex Silver paint, and Volkswagen is the first automotive manufacturer in Europe to reach this production milestone.

Beetle Production in Wolfsburg began in 1945 and up to now over 21.5 million Beetles, 23 million Golfs and 13 million Passats, as well as nine million Polos, have been built.

Last year, Volkswagen delivered 3.06 million vehicles to customers.
