Over the last few days, I’ve posted several air-cooled rear-engined Porsches and Volkswagens. Porsche produced air-cooled cars until 1998, and the 911 has stuck with its rear-engined layout to this day. But in the 1970s, Volkswagen knew it had to modernise fast, and nothing exemplifies the switch better than this crisply (Giugiaro) designed front-wheel drive water-cooled first-generation Golf. Pic from my brother (VW Iconic display in Berlin).
