I've seen photos (god only knows where) of allegedly FRONT engined 
sedan-type aircooleds, also. I would love to see a website somewhere 
officially documenting the oddballs produced by Volkswagen do Brasil.

VW Brazil seemed to have an engineering carte-blanche, so long as they 
used as much as they could out of the VW parts bin. So, they came out 
with some VERY odd products. The Polo/Santana series has been most 
successful, and is still produced to this day, essentially using the B1 
powertrain and A1 engine.
