Although it's possible to be cynical about this extension of the Beetle chassis to make a rear-engined four-seater family car, it actually had a lot of engineering developments inside. It had MacPherson struts for a start. It also gained fuel-injection, and newer, larger engines as well as estate versions. The 412 was a restyled update.
