Some cars are built by spreadsheets. Others are born from vision. The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia belongs firmly to the latter.
A unique collaboration between Ghia (design), Karmann (coachbuilding) and Volkswagen (engineering) resulted in one of the most elegant and timeless convertibles ever made.
This 1969 example represents the model at its peak – featuring the larger 1.6L flat-four engine (50 HP) and front disc brakes, offering a significantly improved driving experience in modern conditions.
This is not just a classic.
