Description

The Volkswagen SP2 is a sports car that was developed and produced by Volkswagen do Brazil from 1973 to 1976, mainly for the Brazilian market. Designed by Márcio Piancastelli and José Martins and spawned from "Project X" started by Rudolf Leiding, CEO of Volkswagen do Brazil, the SP2 was created to rejuvenate Volkswagen's image in Brazil. The car was powered by a 1.7L Type 3 flat-4, with its basic underpinnings borrowed from the Variant. The "SP" in the name is said to be an abbreviation for "São Paolo", but it may have also stood for "Special Project", "Sport Prototype", "Special Performance" or "SPort Car"; it was also given the unenviable nickname of "Sem Potência" (lit. "no power") due to the car's lackluster performance. Despite its sleek appearance, the car's inability to surpass its competitors ultimately led to its demise, with production ceasing in February 1976 with 10,205 produced.

This is Hot Wheels's first Brazilian car model.
