Thanks for the pictures

You can see a larger version of the VW 411 'Grand Prix' article on Jens Vagelpohl's website, it's worth reading! http://www.type4.org/pictures/1971/za_g ... large.html

It seems the South African Factory developed a competition engine for the 411 based on their own works rally car. This engine apparently produces 104.5kW/142hp at 7000rpm!!! That is what I read, can it really be true??

Contrast that with the German factory rally car that developed 66kW at 6500rpm...

Would be great to see some more pictures of these South African 411GPs.
