1970s Volkswagen Passat — The Passat Can (A Front Tire Blow-Out at 100 kph)

A front tire blow-out at 100 kph.
Can your “luxury car” stop without going out of control?

THE PASSAT CAN.

In an emergency like this no amount of fancy upholstery or expensive carpeting can help you. But a VW Passat can. Proof? You can hit the brakes at this speed and the Passat will come to a safe stop. Without swerving, without going out of control.

The secret? It’s all there underneath all that continental elegance. It’s called German engineering. Meticulous. Thorough. Precise. The kind that you can rely on in emergencies.

A high-performance overhead-cam engine driving the front wheels. Rack and pinion steering. Dual diagonal brake system with power front disc brakes. Negative steering roll radius.

An ingeniously designed suspension system with standard radials. Plus an extra you couldn’t get in other luxury cars even if you paid more — Volkswagen’s 12-Month Warranty with Unlimited Mileage.

The VW Passat. It takes the luxury car concept a step farther.

Passat
The ultimate in German engineering. The hallmark of Continental elegance.
