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?? :shock:

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.
