The original design requirements for the Beetle (in the 1940s) included that it be able to maintain 100km/hr (about 60 miles per hour) with four people, ALL DAY. On a number of occasions I have driven Beetles & Squares for twelve hours or more, stopping only for gas (and maybe half an hour for a bite to eat), including desert travel at temperatures of 105F or more. Even used my Square to tow my Beetle 400 miles in such conditions! -Greg '69 & '71 Squarebacks '63 Beetle
