Introduced on October 3, 1968 the Volkswagen Type 4 was Volkswagen's first large car. Initial Type 4's had a 68 HP 1.7 liter air-cooled flat-4 with Twin Solex carburetors. In late 1969 this was replaced by Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection and output rose to 80 HP. For midyear 1972 the car was renamed the 412. For the 1974 model year the twin-carburetor engine returned this time in 85 HP 1.8 liter form. But the damage was done; 1974 would be the Type 4's final year and it would be replaced by the Dasher.
