Volkhart V2 Sagitta

Post by Dawie »

This Beetle-based car from 1947 was tested in VW's wind tunnel earlier this year. Aerodynamically it out-performed even the new Golf 7 and Mercedes CLA.

With the early 19kw/24hp aircooled 1100 engine, top speed increased from 100km/h to 140 km/h.

Staying Aircooled is so much nicer.
Do'nt assume anything- (While doing fault-finding).
