Volkswagen Produces 10 Millionth Car In Mexico
On August 13 2013, Volkswagen celebrated the production of 10 million cars at its manufacturing facility in Puebla, Mexico. The 10 millionth car was a Volkswagen Beetle GSR, a limited edition, 1970s inspired Beetle. “This is an important milestone and symbol of Volkswagen’s long-term commitment to the North American market,” said Jonathan Browning, President of Volkswagen of America, Inc. “It’s only fitting that the milestone car is a Beetle in light of this being the 75th anniversary of the car. Puebla has been manufacturing quality Beetles and other Volkswagens for the United States for nearly 50 years, and continues to play a key role in our growth strategy.”
Volkswagen Puebla is the largest automobile manufacturing plant in North America and the second largest Volkswagen manufacturing plant in the world. Puebla began manufacturing the original Beetle in 1967 and it celebrates its 75th birthday this year. The plant has produced more than 3 million Beetles and currently manufactures the Beetle convertible.
The 2014 Beetle GSR is a retro themed yellow and black model inspired by the "Yellow Black Racer' of the 1970s. It features the new EA888 turbocharged and direct-injection 2.0-liter TSI engine, giving it more power, torque and better fuel economy. Only 3,500 of the special edition Beetle GSRs were built globally.
