Volkswagen K70
A car bought through an advertisement, with a record of its travels.
Idioma del contenido
The K70 joined the Suchecki collection after Zenon spotted an advertisement in a German newspaper. He bought the model he had been seeking without first inspecting it in person. The previous owners had kept a book of journeys and rallies, so the car brought a record of its use to the museum.
The K70 marked a change in Volkswagen engineering. Introduced in 1970, it had a front-mounted engine, water cooling and front-wheel drive. This differed from the rear-engine layout familiar from the Beetle.
The design had originally been developed by NSU, with body styling by Claus Luthe. Following changes in company ownership, it reached the market as a Volkswagen. The four-door saloon had a separate boot and a large area of glazing.
Production continued until 1975. Its history combines two stories: a technical change in the brand’s range and the life of a surviving car whose earlier owners recorded their outings. Pępowo’s collection includes this angular family saloon alongside its rounded classics.

This model worked differently from the Beetle. Its engine was at the front, cooled by water, and powered the front wheels. NSU originally developed the design, but the car was sold as a Volkswagen. The K70 had four doors and a separate boot. It was produced from 1970 to 1975.
