The Volkswagen K70 holds a unique place in the brand’s history as the company’s first front-engined, front-wheel-drive model and its first car powered by a water-cooled inline engine. Originally developed by NSU as a larger companion to the revolutionary Ro 80, the car was taken over by Volkswagen following the merger of NSU and Audi in the late 1960s. Volkswagen launched the K70 in 1970, positioning it as a modern and spacious family saloon. The K70 introduced a completely new engineering direction for Volkswagen, which had previously focused on rear-engined, air-cooled designs. Its advanced chassis, clean styling and roomy interior made it stand out in the early 1970s market. Although its production run was relatively short, ending in 1975, the K70 paved the way for Volkswagen’s future successes, influencing models such as the Passat and Golf. For model collectors, the Volkswagen K70 represents a pivotal moment in the brand’s evolution. Its innovative layout and distinctive design mark it as an important transitional model, making it a fascinating addition to any classic Volkswagen collection. |
