Vehicle History & Overview

This Vokaro started life as a 1974 Volkswagen Beetle. The chassis was then shortened and fitted with Vopard Industries fiberglass roadster bodywork. Silver paint with a painted black stripe was applied, and a black and red interior was installed. The vehicle has also received a four-wheel disc brake upgrade.

The Volkswagen Beetle is legendary for its mechanical simplicity and durability. As a result, it should be no surprise that Vopard Industries used the Beetle for its line of fiberglass bodied kit-cars. The Vokaro is the two-seat roadster version and uses a shortened Beetle chassis as its base. The powerplant was often dependent on the donor Beetle, but engine options are nearly limitless thanks to the Beetle's massive aftermarket support.
