| 説明 | Beetle / Vocho is still produced in Mexico and people prefer it to the new version that, unlike the original, has got 0 style of its own. And the old beetle can be squeezed into a much tighter parking slot as well!In response to doubts regarding the Beetle's long-term reliability, Prince Alfonso de Hohenlohe, descendant of a friend of Ferdinand Porsche and a car enthusiast resident of Mexico City, decided to enter seven VW sedans in 1954's Carrera Panamericana competition. All of the Beetles finished the 3211 km race. While none finished in first place, the VWs all had 4-cylinder 1.2 L engines, as compared with the 8-cylinder engines used by the rest of the competition. Some newspapers reported rumors that the engines were Porsche instead of Volkswagen. An expert mechanic from Houston, Texas, was asked to inspect the cars and certified that they had original, unmodified VW engines. This led to the creation of the company Volkswagen Mexicana, S.A. In the same year, Hohenlohe founded the Distribuidora Volkswagen Central, S.A. de C.V. (Central Volkswagen Distributor), which opened its doors the following year as Mexico's first Volkswagen dealership.In 1961, the first 250 cars were assembled through Automex (later Chrysler de Mexico). In June of that year, a six-month contract was signed with Studebaker-Packard de Mexico to assemble the Beetle from CKD kits imported from Germany. The next year, 1962, the first Volkswagen assembly plant was established in Xalostoc, State of Mexico, under the name PROMEXA (Promotora Mexicana de Automoviles - Mexican Automobile Promotor). Opening in June, the plant turned out 10 assembled units per day. In January 1964, Volkswagen de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. was established. Production from the Xalostoc plant was unable to meet the growing demand, and in June 1965, a new plant opened in the suburbs of Puebla, Puebla on a 2-million-square-metre field. - wiki |
