Beetle
in our blood.
A Knepper® is a Beetle the factory never built: fully restored and rebuilt by us — as the RS-E with over 600 PS, or as the LS-E, the lifestyle convertible with 300 PS and generous range. And for your own Beetle: high-quality spare parts and our own in-house designs.
10 years of Knepper.
We’re celebrating.
We’re opening up the workshop: a small exhibition featuring the Knepper 1303 RS-E, a guided tour of the shop with Rüdiger Knepper — plus sausages and drinks at cost price.
Complete cars.
Not just parts.
The Knepper® is our own vehicle program: fully restored Beetles, rebuilt with electric or Subaru drivetrains. Alongside them, high-end restorations are built in Rahden — here is a selection.
Eight assemblies.
One car.
Fits my Beetle
Choose your model and year — you’ll only see parts explicitly marked as fitting your model.
What you can’t find anywhere,
we build ourselves.
Restoration is not a sideline for us.
Every part in our shop is held to the same standard as the cars on our lifts: it has to work the way we would install it ourselves. From sheet metal to the last seal — everything under one roof.
„Von mir 5 Sterne plus für die Restauration und den Umbau meines marinablauen 1303. Das Auto ist ein Traum und das Projekthandling von Rüdiger und seinem Team war äußerst professionell, vertrauensvoll und engagiert. Und zum Schluss noch das Auto vor die Haustür geliefert bekommen. Mehr geht nicht, vielen Dank Euch!“
„Habe ein Paar Querträger Bodenplatte bestellt,
Bester Ablauf, guter Preis, superschnelle Lieferung,
gute Verpackung, Ware okay,
was will man mehr...“
„Sehr kompetente Beratung
Bin vollkommen zufrieden
Gerne wieder
Daumen hoch .“
