The Volkswagen SP2 was a rare, air-cooled sports car produced exclusively in Brazil by Volkswagen do Brasil from 1972 to 1976, known for its striking design but criticized for its underwhelming performance despite its price. It shared its chassis and 1.7-liter flat-four engine with the Brazilian VW Type 3 Variant and offered a luxurious, handcrafted interior. Though a marketing and prestige project to boost VW's image in Brazil, the SP2's weak engine and high cost led to poor sales, with only 10,205 units produced before production ceased.
