Volkswagen Karmann-Ghia Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1955–1974) — First Generation
You are looking at the first-generation Volkswagen Karmann-Ghia, offered as a Coupe and a Cabrio. It is a compact, stylish Volkswagen rather than a sports car, with a simple mechanical layout you can live with.
The Volkswagen Karmann-Ghia engine sits at the rear and drives the rear wheels. Selected Cabrio examples such as the 1.2 MT, 1.3 MT and 1.5 MT use a gasoline engine and a manual transmission, so you change gears yourself. Larger engines arrived later, but the powertrain layout stayed simple.
