Special:
- The Volkswagen Karmann-Ghia was a German-Italian joint effort introduced in 1955. 
- Dr. Wilhelm Karmann, whose firm was building the cabriolet version of the Beetle, submitted designs to Volkswagen in hopes of generating new business. The designs were for a new sporty coupe, which Volkswagen ignored. 
- Around the same time, Mario Boano and Luigi Segre of Italy's Carrozzeria Ghia Turin had proposed some styling enhancements to Volkswagen. These too were ignored. 
- Karmann approached Ghia directly, resulting in a prototype. Ghia developed a new body that was mounted directly to the Beetle's basic platform chassis, suspension and drive train.
- The prototype was sent to Karmann in late 1953 and used to impress Volkswagen's chief Heinz Nordhoff. 
- The Karmann-Ghia is the only Volkswagen powered, coach-built automobile that carries the Volkswagen logo and was officially sanctioned by Volkswagen AG.
- The first Karmann-Ghia was introduced in 1956.
- The Karmann-Ghia and Bug are mechanically and electrically identical from 1956 through 1974, but their chassis are not interchangeable. 
- It has the well known flat four-cylinder air-cooled VW-engine (designed by Franz Reimspiess) with a single Solex carburetor, a four-speed manual gearbox and rear wheel drive.
- The whole Series received very little modifications through its production life-span, only head and tail light modifications, bumper and side air vent changes.
- The Karmann-Ghia went so well that in 1960, a factory in the Brazilian city of Sao Bernardo do Campo was opened. As of December 31, 1960, the Type 14 was built here originally only the coupe version, but from 1968 also convertible. 
- VW Brazil (Volkswagen do Brasil Ltda.) also built the model 1600 TC (Touring Coupé), internally known as Type 145, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro (Ghia), which was introduced in 1970 (until 1976). These TC's were only offered in South America and wasn't exported off the continent.
