August is typically the duration when the Weissburg factory has a yearly vacation. Or a minimum of the majority of the employees, the only employees left in the factory are to change production to a brand-new type. The term “brand-new designs” is broadened in this case, since it is understood that, a minimum of externally, really little modifications in Volkswagen cars.
However, when every year reporters gain from journalism service that the size of the ashtray or the shape of the inner deal with has actually been altered in VW-Chrabąszcz, this time the modifications go even more. We can run the risk of stating that this is a huge modification, enabling us to state that VW-Chrabąszcz will stay in production for several years to come.
Finally, even with the a great deal of VW cars produced, nobody is going to invest cash on a brand-new die. And the whole front part of the beetle in front of the windscreen is totally brand-new. Fender, brand-new hood, brand-new fuel tank, brand-new flooring is brand-new.
Longitudinal area of the Volkswagen 1302 automobile. The customized shape of the fender is plainly noticeable.

Previously, nevertheless, this suspension was just utilized in variations with semi-automatic transmission.
So slowly the pivot axis is not utilized at all. Although it is still utilized by Volkswagen itself, in the existing Chrabąszcz design, which will be launched together with the enhanced design. It is understood that this is a decreasing production, after a year or 2 more, just the 1302 design will stay on the battleground.

As an outcome of making use of the brand-new suspension, the fundamental measurements of the cars and truck have actually altered somewhat. The wheel is now 20 mm longer, and the front and rear track widths are likewise somewhat longer. The turning radius was lowered from 5.5 meters to 4.8 meters.
The load of the automobile has actually increased from 380 to 400 kg. Let us include that, on unique demand, the business is all set to use the VW 1302 likewise with a 1,200 cc engine. 3 with a power of just 34 HP. The 1.3-liter engine, which can be thought about as a typical vehicle engine, has a power of 44 HP, and an engine of 1600 cm. 3— 50 hp.
