Cheetah

VW Karmann

Prototype for a low budget roadster

For the 1971 Geneva Motor Show, Giugiaro was asked by Carrozzeria Karmann to prepare the prototype of a roadster that could be manufactured with a very low budget using components already in production.

BRAND: VW Karmann

MODEL: Chetah

YEAR: 1971

BODY TYPE: Sports car

POWER SUPPLY: Combustion

CATEGORY: Concept car

DESIGNER: Giorgetto Giugiaro

With the Cheetah, little known, Giugiaro took another step towards very squared shapes. The car was born almost at the same time as the Alfasud Caimano, that was to be presented two months later at the Turin Motor Show, and shared its layout of shape. Uncluttered side, clean front fender ridge, almost horizontal rear end, vertical tail section.
