VW SP 2: A curiosity from Brazil.
Jun 12, 2022,09:15 AM
Brazil had a VW Car Factory, making some models for their local market.
Here is a very alluring one, which I never saw before: The SP 2, which was in production in the mid 70's.

The engine is a modest 1, 7 boxer, delivering some modest 65 HP, offering some modest performances ( 165 Km/h / 0 to 100 in 17 secs ) in comparison to its body which suggests all the contrary, and the sound of the engine, deafening.
How cool is that! Now, finding one is almost impossible, as a bit more than 10, 000 were made, and almost none are driven on our european roads...
Best,
Nicolas
