Conheça o VW Fusca 1950 a Diesel que nunca chegou ao Brasil

Lá no início dos anos 1950, o diesel era um combustível abundante e barato na Europa, enquanto a gasolina estava escassa.

Foi nesse contexto que Heinz Nordhoff, da VW, solicitou que a Porsche desenvolvesse um motor boxer diesel para o Fusca.

Em 1951, a VW concluiu o o protótipo de motor diesel 1.3 L para o Beetle. Apenas dois exemplares foram fabricados.

Um dos motores foi para o Fusca e o outro para a Kombi. Os veículos foram testados no circuito de Nürburgring.

Entretanto, é importante esclarecer que essa versão a diesel do Fusca não foi produzida em longa escala.

Atualmente o lendário carro se encontra em pleno repouso no famoso Museu da Porsche, apenas para apreciação.
