The Volkswagen 1200, also known as the "Type 11" or "VW 1200," was a rear-engined, air-cooled passenger car produced by Volkswagen from 1965 to 1974. It was a significant evolution of the iconic Beetle, featuring a larger engine, improved handling, and increased interior space. The 1200 inherited the Beetle's simple and robust design, but with a larger 1.2-liter air-cooled engine, producing 40 horsepower. This power increase allowed the car to reach a top speed of 85 mph, surpassing its predecessor in performance. The 1200 also featured a redesigned front suspension for improved handling and a wider track for greater stability. The larger engine necessitated a larger rear engine compartment, leading to a slightly longer wheelbase and a more spacious interior, making it more suitable for family use. The Volkswagen 1200 was offered in various body styles, including a two-door sedan, a two-door station wagon known as the "Variant," and a two-door convertible. The sedan remained the most popular version, offering practical and economical transportation for a growing number of families in Europe and beyond. Despite its larger engine and enhanced features, the 1200 retained the Beetle's trademark affordability and reliability, making it a popular choice for budget-conscious individuals. However, despite its popularity, the 1200's production was relatively short-lived. The introduction of the larger and more modern Volkswagen 1300 in 1972 gradually phased out the 1200, leaving its legacy as an evolutionary step in the lineage of Volkswagen's iconic car.
