VW Type 3
What is your favorite VW?
VW's first real saloon car, the Type 3 was launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1961 to a warm welcome from the motoring press. It was the first new production car to come out of Wolfsburg in ten years and soon gained the nickname of "Stuffenheck" or "Notchback". Intitially equipped with a 1493cc pancake engine, a top-of-the-range S model was introduced in late 1963. The S featured the twin carburettors, which raised the output to 54bhp and made 100mph possible. In addition to the Notchback, two other Type 3 models were later available. From 1962 the estate or Variant was announced (known as the "Squareback" in America) and from 1965 the sporty looking Fastback. A Karmann Ghia coupe version was also produced.
