1963 Volkswagen Beetle

Few cars are as recognizable as the 1963 Volkswagen Beetle. Small, lightweight and full of character, this legendary German classic brings a completely different driving experience to Project Zomboid.

Whether you're looking for a practical everyday car, an adventurous off-road machine or something with a little more performance, this collection offers three distinct ways to explore the post-apocalyptic world.

Each configuration has its own personality, while sharing most mechanical components to make maintenance and repairs more convenient.

Three Unique Variants

The mod introduces three chassis configurations with different characteristics:

• Stock Beetle - The familiar classic with its distinctive rounded body, compact dimensions and four passenger seats.
• Dune Buggy - A lightweight alternative for survivors who enjoy exploring the wilderness and traveling beyond paved roads.
• High Performance - A sportier modification designed for players who prefer speed and a more aggressive driving style.

The Buggy and High Performance versions accommodate two occupants, while the original model retains four seats.

Customization and Armor

Despite its modest size, the Beetle offers plenty of opportunities for modification. Additional equipment can be crafted or discovered throughout the game world, allowing you to adapt each configuration to your needs.

Available upgrades include:

• Three front bumper options
• Two rear bumper configurations
• Two levels of bumper protection
• Reinforced window and door armor
• Additional protection for the engine and headlights
• Roof racks for carrying extra supplies
• Custom body kits and exterior accessories
• Multiple texture variations

With the right components, even this small civilian car can become a surprisingly well-protected companion for dangerous journeys.

Detailed Animations and Interactive Parts

The attention to detail extends beyond the exterior. The hood, trunk, doors and windows are fully animated, while the interior displays your character during travel.

Entering, exiting and aiming animations have also been improved for a more natural experience.

Additional features include:

• Removable 3D components that can be placed in the game world
• Shared parts between all three configurations for easier maintenance
• Craftable and discoverable customization equipment
• Support for towing and being towed
