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

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.
