Today’s Photos : Stretched 1953 Rometsch Beetle taxi with suicide doors.
Back in 1950, Johannes Beeskow, a Rometsch designer built the first prototype of a four-door sedan based the now iconic Volkswagen Beetle – a concept he later took into the production of a taxicab.
The wheelbase of the donor Volkswagen Beetle was stretched by about 27 centimetres (11 inch) while access to the backseats was improved by incorporating suicide doors.
Powering the sedan is a 4-cylinder boxer, air-cooled engine, which produces 25 horsepower, allowing a top speed of 100 km/h (62 mph).
In all, just 38 of the stretched Rometsch Beetle taxis was made by the Berlin coach building company, Friedrich Rometsch.
