The Volkswagen Beetle is the world’s most sold car of all time. It trumped over the Fiat 124 (which took second place) and the Ford Model T (the third most popular). After the production of the original Volkswagen Beetle some time between 1939 and 2003, manufacturing them halted. During those times, there were a total of 21 million Beetles which were created.

Yet another Volkswagen car which made it to the Top Ten is the Golf MkI, taking the sixth spot. The Golf MkII took the seventh slot. Introduced way back at 1974, these models are still being manufactured in South Africa. There have already been 6.9 million units produced to this date.

To see the complete list of the cars which made it to the Top Ten, see the data presented below:

1. Volkswagen Beetle
