Volkswagen Brasilia

==Description==
The Volkswagen Brasília is a rear-engined compact car produced by Volkswagen do Brasil from 1974 to 1982. Designed by Márcio Piancastelli, the Brasília was intended to replace the Beetle, known as the Fusca in Brazil. The car combined the chassis and underpinnings of the Karmann Ghia with styling reminiscent of the Volkswagen Type 4 wagon. It used a 1.6L air-cooled flat-4 mated to a 4-speed manual. Sales began in 1973, initially marketed as a van to take advantage of lower tax rates on trucks or similar vehicles. The Brasília was also marketed in Mexico and Nigeria, the latter in knockdown kits and marketed as the Igala. Production ended in 1982 to be replaced by the Gol, with over 1 million produced.
The Hot Wheels version has a non-stock front bumper, removed back bumper, racing seat and a roll cage. The miniature is a reproduction of the first generation Brasilia (1972-1977). Certain versions have a base reading Volkswagen Brasillia.

==2011 card==
From the back of the 2011 card:
Born: 1973
Birthplace: Wolfsburg, Germany
Designer: Volkswagen Group
Specialty: Brazil's 3-door answer to the Beetle, named for its capital city. With a 4-cylinder, air-cooled boxer engine and 70's styling, this South American import is an old-school favorite.
