At September 1970, brazilian's Volkswagen president Rudolf Leiding, made a challenge for the company's major designers. He wanted to recriate the Beetle, in a brazilian way. The Beetle, the Bus and the Karmann-Ghia were the only VW cars with air-cooled engines that made success at that time in Brazil. For Leiding, the new Volkswagen should be practical, economical and larger than the Beetle, using it's reliable engineering. In three months, more than 40 projects were made, most of them with bold designs, with wide, inclined windshields. But the prototypes were expensive and VW was looking for a new cheap car, to compete with the brand new Chevette, from Chevrolet.
