Under the bonnet of the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Type 14 1.2 1200 (1192 cc) coupe sits a 1.2-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, good for 25 kW (34 PS). A manual gearbox sends the Karmann Ghia Type 14 1.2 1200 (1192 cc)'s drive to the rear wheels.
It opens the Karmann Ghia Type 14 range: of the 2 versions, it has the least power, and the 1.6 1600 (1584 cc) (45 kW) offers 80% more. The car reaches 120 km/h, weighs 820 kg and has 41 PS per tonne to work with.
