Beetle-We certainly won’t be experts based on this sample size. Instead, both times we picked out models that have “sports car” in their blood—or gasoline. In 2015, it was a Memminger Beetle, and now, in 2026, a model from Wilke Motorenbau, which has been the top destination for VW Beetle in Cologne for over 40 years.

On our converted cow barn, alongside various Porsche, BMW, and Alpina models, this “Maggiolino” makes just as much of a splash as its famous cinematic counterpart. With a sensational sound, 98 PS s from a 1.8-liter engine Displacement , and stylish ATS alloy wheels, this car—which might otherwise be described as cute—turns into a real powerhouse.

Always well-maintained by its previous owner to ensure reliable trips to the vacation home on Lake Como, this Beetle is ready for new adventures … or to make a grand entrance in front of the ice cream shop.
