40 years VW 1302 Super Beetle




Replacement of automobile started yesterday, '72 Super Beetle would come to me this week end from Wakayama VW shop. I'm so interested in this auto because of following reasons.
Air cooled flat four Boxer engine.
Very light body weight, 870kg.
Improved axle constructions, frontal strut suspension with stabilizer and independent rear semi-trailing arm construction for rear ones. These improvement in axle design let 1302S model call Super Beetle.
Frontal axle design was changed from parallel tortion bars into strut ones, this change could contribute the reduction of turning radius,5,5 to 4,5 which was the best renewal for Eurpean use on narrow and shallow roads.
The adjustability and the modifiability are far superior to conventional design.
Any way this new commer would make enjoy further Older VW lives. My concentration would applied only on the Old VW Beetle for the time being.
