Volkswagen Beetle Type 1 - Nippon Grand Prix 1963
Car scale model kit in 1/24 scale manufactured by Hasegawa (ref. 20623, also 4967834206236)

It may seem strange to us, but a car as mythical as the Volkswagen Beetle also had a presence in competition, as evidenced by its participation in the C-IV class in the first Japanese Grand Prix Car Racing Tournament held at the circuit of Suzuka on May 3, 1963, where he achieved the top three positions, the winner being car number #21 with Yoshikazu Suzuki at the wheel. Thus, the Beetle was one of the first cars to win at Suzuka, as the circuit opened at the end of 1962.
