The Volkswagen Beetle 1302 S: A Classic of Automotive History
The Volkswagen Beetle 1302 S represents a fascinating era of automotive history. Introduced in 1970 and produced until 1972, this model embodies the evolutionary development of the legendary Volkswagen Beetle, originally conceived as a people's car. Powered by an air-cooled 1.6-liter flat-four engine, the Beetle 1302 S could reach a top speed of around 80 mph (130 km/h). Technically notable was the introduction of MacPherson suspension at the front axle, providing a significant improvement in driving stability and comfort. Other innovations of the Beetle 1302 S included a larger windshield and an enlarged front trunk, made shallower by relocating the spare tire.
