Yahoo Autos Milivié 1 is a restomod VW Beetle that costs nearly $600,000
Have you always wanted a meticulously put together Volkswagen Beetle restomod? Well, here’s your chance, assuming you have nearly $600,000 burning a hole in your pocket.
This is the Milivié 1, and it’s a reinterpretation of the original Beetle in a way we haven’t seen before. The German company says there will only be 22 built (one for every million of the original 22-million-Beetle production run), and each will cost €570,000.
Your money buys you a Beetle that is surely nothing like any other out there. Milivié starts by finding a donor car, but all that remains of that at the end is a modified metal monocoque section of the body and modified floorboards. The rest is new. You’ll notice that the Beetle’s design is unmistakably that of a Beetle, but every body panel has been changed or modified in some way in an effort to create a modern shape and more modern design. Milivié says it used a number of Porsche styling cues when it was reshaping body panels to give the Beetle a far sportier look.
