Bremen. The Bremen Classic Motorshow brings together all classic and modern classic car enthusiasts in Northern Germany. As Autostadt Wolfsburg announces, it will be exhibiting automotive milestones. The new beginnings of the mobile world will be visualized with three special vehicles from Autostadt. It's hard to believe, but over 80 years ago, series production of the VW Beetle began …. Furthermore, production of road-legal sports cars began, and a prototype from the ZeitHaus collection was presented to the public for the first time: the Lamborghini Diablo – equipped with a 16-cylinder Bugatti engine. The special "4x4 Performance" motor show featured various classic sports cars with all-wheel drive. Among them was the test vehicle that marked the brand's relaunch within the Volkswagen Group and paved the way for the Veyron.

At the Bremen Classic Motorshow 2026

80 Years of the VW Beetle: From "Zero Hour" to Millionaire

Autostadt Wolfsburg will be presenting mobile exhibits from its ZeitHaus collection:

From the start of Beetle series production at the end of 1945 until 1955, a subtle evolution of the model could be observed: we'll just mention the "Pretzel Disc" (Beetle Type 1)... At the Bremen Classic Motorshow, the last example produced in 1945 will be on display (completed on December 30).

A cutaway model of a 1948 Beetle offers extraordinary insights into the technology of this bestseller.

The third exhibit is the one-millionth Volkswagen: a unique golden model from 1955.

The Beetle, a symbol of a new beginning, became an icon of the German "economic miracle" in just under 10 years…

Bugatti enthusiasts can experience the journey from dream to dream car here: bright yellow Lamborghini Diablo

The relaunch of Bugatti within the Volkswagen Group is being visualized in Bremen.

The bright yellow Lamborghini Diablo is a real eye-catcher. Autostadt is presenting the model at the special exhibition "4x4 Performance":

In the prototype on display, the heart of the legendary W16 engine beat for the first time, instead of the Lamborghini V12. This engine made the Bugatti Veyron an icon over the years.

The tubular space frame was lengthened and modified to accommodate the sixteen-cylinder engine with its eight-liter displacement and four turbochargers.

At the show, the yellow prototype is displayed with its body panels removed, allowing visitors a glimpse of the incredible drivetrain in the rear.
