VW Model Range 1972

You see a lot of VWs daily on our streets: There is the Beetle.

Over 10 Miljons have soon been build and sold. So the Beetle is probably the most universal car in the world. People are so used to it's sight that they are nor aware anymore about what extraordinary car it is. The newest is the VW1302: The Super Beetle (bottom right). The trunk in front is with it's 260 liters almost the double in size compared to the VW 1300. Its proven VW-technology: Independent suspension with spring strut front axle and semi-trailing arm rear axle for good road holding. Dual circuit break system. Safety arrangements as safety steering wheel and safety steering column such as cushioning front and rear section. The 1200 (upper right) you can bring with a top speed of 115 km/h wherever you want, the top speed is also it's cruising speed.

The 1302 S is the strongest Beetle with it's 50 hp (60 SAE-hp) It accelerates accordingly and has a top speed of 130 km/h. The strongest Beetle is also available as cabriolet. The body is since long built by Karmann The 1300 bottom left looks almost exactly as the VW 1200, it has a 100cc larger and 10 hp stronger engine. It's top speed is 125 km/h. It costs of course more than the VW 1200. But it is also worth it's price. This applies to all Beetles: Good value, excellently manufactured, air-cooled 4-cylinder engine that is located on the rear axle.

The VW Karmann Ghia

Which are particularly sporty VWs. Technology from the Beetle is tucked under the body, with all of it's reliability. Thereupon is the body from Italian Ghia, with Italian elegancy and beauty. Karmann builds them - the same specialist company that makes the Beetle Cabriolet bodywork. And Karmann cares so much about this car that a lot of work is accomplished by hand. The Karmann Ghia is available as Cabriolet or Coupé. A sign of quality for example is the roof of the cabriolet: it's not simply a thin layer of canvas but a hand-sewn five-layer-covered insulated against the cold and wetness and plastic-lined interiors that is washable.

The Karmann Ghia reaches a top speed of 145 km/h and continues with the high speed. The VW security is built in. It costs of course more than the Beetle but there are a lot of people that understand that the VW-reliability and sporty beauty will cost. Because there is nowhere else to buy this.

The VW 1600

These three VWs have the engine in common: a air-cooled 1600cc machine which is mounted in the rear as an engine unit - which is driving the rear wheels without power loss. And which improves the traction by its weight.

The VW 1600s have further in common, they are equipped like family-saloons; with floor carpets, with complete door and roof lining and anatomical seats.

The bodies are as you see quite. different. because not all have the same requirements in their car. That's why the VW 1600 is available as a notchback saloon, hatchback-saloon and as an estate - for the family that needs extra space. All these models are of course available as Normal or Luxury version. But the technology is always the same.

All three VW 1600 bring a lot of security - Safety steering wheel, Collapsible steering column, Dual-circuit break system, Safety bodywork and so on.

An optimal road holding thanks to independent suspension, front anti-roll bar and independent rear suspension for the best control in high speeds, in hard bends and on slippery roads.

Every VW 1600 lives of course up to VW-quality standards and gets the famous VW-service.

That is two significant plus points.

The VW 411 E

E means Injection (einspritzung), this technically progressive car is equipped with electronically controlled injection as standard.

The 80 hp engines electronically controlled injection doses the gasoline distribution - depending on the operating condition - so flexible and accurate, an optimal gasoline-air mix is always guaranteed. Which yields the best performance, best consumption and a engine with high elasticity - under all driving conditions.

The wheels hangs individually together with the struts in front and suspension arms rear gives an optimal road management.

The VW 411 E is an outstanding long-distance sedan which is available as two door, four door or estate.

VW 411E and VW 411 LE are cars with luxurious equipment and spaciousness. But as all VWs they offer a maximum of economic efficiency.

VW K 70

The youngest member of the VW-club represents a new begining for VW. As a luxurious mid-range car with modern technology. With in-line engine, front wheel drive and water-cooling it has a concept that fits our concept.

The VW K70 is a sporty but spacious long-distance sedan: with four doors, 700-liter trunk and all comfort for long trips.(does of course not interfere even with a drive to the supermarket) It comes in two equipement versions: Normal and Luxury. And each in two strengths: With 75 hp (88 SAE-hp) or with 90 hp (105 SAE-hp).

Sure the VW K70 is not cheap (But not as expensive as your neighbour thinks) And it is luxurious. But it has the VW-service and the VW-diagnose behind it. The top speed is about 160 km/h. And impressive is its clear and timeless design: Large windows, well designed sides, lot of style. Just much K70.

We have brought a rather unusual car to the streets. It will never be one of the ordinary, rather a car that you notice.

The VW Transporter

It carries up to 8 passangers. Rapidly and safely. While wery gently. Because you treat people as people and not cargo.

With the VW-personal-transporter get a compact car that offers a lot of space but needs little space. It needs a parking area as the Beetle. It fits all normal garages.

It also exists as a Cargo transporter - in case you need to transport luggage or loads, steinde or fences, pants, roses, casks or bottles up to 1000kg.

And it gets in a lot finishings. So that firefighters can go with i or postmen, laborers or doctors and nurses

The air cooled engine is located in the rear. And since it puts load on the rear axle it gives the VW-Transporter better traction when you travel fast or when you travel on difficult roads. It also gives more security.

It is equipped as a sedan And it is the only Transporter in the world which has VW-Service. And of course aldo VW-diagnosis.

You can see all these VWs on all roads in the world every day. But there is one VW that you rarely see.

there is one VW that you rarely see.

The VWs are built so they run and run and run. At first the quality of materials in every VW are tested thoroughly before processing. Materials that fail this test are not used. After that every car must endure inspection after inspection before it is released. And the inspections during the production process, in turn, are constantly reviewed. With eyes and computers.

Finally every VW is tested once more on the test bench. Altogether 8655 Inspectors monitor the VW-production and another 570 staff monitor the quality in laboratories and measurement facilities.

After all these tests, each Volkswagen has something extra that sets it apart from all other cars: VW-Quality and VW-Reliability as standard.

There is one VW that you rarely see.

VW has also a service that guarantees the quality. And to this service belongs the famous VW-Diagnosis.

Before it almost all cars were serviced the same way, it was better than nothing but not enough.

Usually the condition of the vehicle couldn't be determined due to lack of time, and because often the exact data of the vehicle were difficult to identify there were incorrect diagnoses and errors.

With VW-diagnosis the important measurements and tests are carried out with special electronic test equipment. A meticulous diagnosis report tells them - more reliably than before how good your VW is in: Engine, chassis, axles, breaks and electrics and so on.

We think that this kind of progress suits VW and VW ride.
