Performance & Mechanical

Power comes from Volkswagens classic 1.6-liter air-cooled flat-four engine, mounted in the rear and sending power to the rear wheels through a manual transmission.

While the Karmann Ghia was designed more as a stylish grand tourer than an outright performance car, its lightweight construction, straightforward mechanicals, and manual gearbox provide the engaging and analog driving experience that makes vintage air-cooled Volkswagens so enjoyable.
