The VW Beetle (officially the Volkswagen Type 1) needs no introduction. Manufactured and marketed globally by Volkswagen from 1938 to 2003, more than 21 million were produced and sold around the world. Extremely popular in the U.S. and Europe during the 1950s and '60s, increasing competition from Japanese, American, and European manufacturers—as well as stiffening demands for better safety and emissions—contributed to a sharp decline in sales in the early '70s. The Beetle was manufactured in much smaller numbers in Germany until the late 1970s, when production shifted to Brazil and Mexico, where operating cost was a was a large factor in keeping the Beetle alive. While simple and fun, the Beetle had simply become outdated. Of course, the enthusiast market did not see it that way. Aficionados loved the simplicity in the design, as well as its aesthetics—and enjoyed tinkering with the mechanicals of their Beetles, Buses, Type 3 models, and Karmann Ghias. There is no shortage of options when customizing your Beetle; and for many, extracting as much performance out of their air-cooled flat 4 was the way to go. Not only does it remedy the issue of keeping up with modern traffic, but Beetles also respond really well to modifications and have a robust aftermarket to support them. In this 144-page paperback, "VW Air-Cooled Engines: How to Build Max Performance," VW veteran Dr. John F. Kershaw lays the groundwork for getting the most possible power for your desired use and application. Covered here are the various power levels and components to get you there. It's all included: rotating assemblies, cylinder heads, cams and the valvetrain, engine blocks, ignitions systems, fuel injection, carburetors and induction, exhaust, sources for parts, and even turbos and superchargers. Are you looking for just a little more power to keep up with traffic or maybe a streetable high-performance machine? Perhaps you're interested in a little street/strip action or even all-out racing applications. All of your options are examined in this book from SA Design and CarTech. And you'll love the 245 color photos!

Take a fun and nostalgic look at the world of Volkswagen accessories. It is well documented that the VW Beetle is the best-selling vehicle of all time. In 1972, the 15-millionth Beetle was produced, breaking the record set by the Model T about 40 years earlier. It was a simple design with styling that appealed to the masses. The bug was affordable, practical, and fun. Because it was such a simple car and so many were sold, many people enjoy customizing their model with accessories, which has been a large market for these cars dating back to the 1950s and 1960s. There's even a market today for people who collect these accessories without installing them. In SA Design's "Vintage Volkswagen Beetle Accessories," authored by veteran VW historian Stephan Szantai, a whole range of accessories are covered. Of course, a history of the Beetle is detailed, as well as the companies that formed the accessory aftermarket. Included are accessories for dressing up the exterior of the car, such as vented windows, bumpers and guards, turn-signal technology, add-on lighting, mirrors, etc. Then, interior accessories are examined, such as radios, ashtrays, gloveboxes, gauges, and clocks. No accessories book would be complete without engine accessories, covering both dress-up options and functional performance parts. Travel accessories, such as roof racks, coolers, extended gas tanks, tail racks, and coffee makers are detailed, along with wheels. A gallery of accessorized Volkswagens of all types is featured, including Type 2 Buses; Type 3 squarebacks, fastbacks, and coupes; Karmen Ghias—and even single- and double-cab pickup body styles are included. Join the fun and nostalgic romp through VW accessory history with this new 144-page softcover CarTech title that features everything cool about customizing your VW. Includes 317 color photos.
