In 1971. a new Beetle model featuring MacPherson strut front suspension and a redesigned front end was launched alongside the "standard" Beetle. which continued in production. Officially known (and marketed in Europe) as the VW 1302 from 1971 to 1972. andVW 1303 from 1973 onwards. but commonly called Super Beetle. the new stretched nose design replaced the dual parallel torsion barbeams which had compromised trunk space and relocated the spare tire from a near vertical to a low horizontal position. The redesign resulted in a tighter turning radius despite a 20 mm (0. 79 in) longer wheelbase. and a doubling of the front compartment's cargo volume. As with previous models. air pressure from the spare tire pressurized the windshield washer canister. in lieu of an electric pump.
1972 Super Beetles had an 11 percent larger rear window (4 mm (0. 16 in) taller). larger front brakes. four rows of vents (versus two rows previously) on the engine deck lid. tail lights incorporating reverse lights. a four-spoke energy-absorbing steering wheel and steering column. and an engine compartment socket for the proprietary VW Diagnosis system.
In 1973. the VW 1303 introduced a curved windscreen. pushed forward and away from the passengers. allowing a redesigned. padded dashboard to replace the pre-1973 vertical dash. A two-speed heater fan. higher rear mudguards. and larger tail lights were added. The changes to the heater/windshield wiper housing and curved windshield resulted in slight redesign of the front hood. making the 1971 and 1972 Super Beetle hoods unique. In late 1973. the well-equipped "1303/Big" special edition was introduced as customers were looking for less spartan cars. These have 15-inch wheels. metallic paintwork. a more luxurious interior. a heated rear windshield. and some other comforts. [40]Also published at eBay.com
