Jay Leno tests the new Volkswagen Beetle

"Er mag nur 24,5 Pferdestärken haben, aber er ist flink und macht eine Menge Spaß und fühlt sich überhaupt nicht so an, als wäre er schon 73 Jahre alt. Aus vielen Blickwinkeln wirkt er sehr zeitgemäß."

Before he got to see the new Beetle Jay Leno was given the keys to a 1938 version, one of the oldest drivable models in existence.
"It might have just 24.5 horsepower but it's nimble and a lot of fun and really does not feel 73 years old. From many angles it feels very contemporary."
