The VW Brasilia is a reproduction of a compact Brazillian car with the same name (named after Brazil's capital city). The real model was produced from 1973 to 1982 by Volkswagen Brazil, and was one of the first Volkswagens to be designed outside of Germany. The Hot Wheels version has a non-stock front bumper, removed back bumper, racing seat and a roll cage. The miniature is a reproduction of the first generation Brasilia (1972-1977).
