Schwimmwagen
The
VW-Schwimmwagen was an amphibious vehicle which was mechanically a KdF-Wagen (later known as a
VW Beetle), and was produced by the factory at KdF-Stadt (
Wolfsburg).
Erwin Komenda,
Ferdinand Porsche's first car body designer, developed the car body construction. Komenda patented his ideas for the swimming car at the German Patent office.
A few four-wheel-drive versions were made.
