10 Things You Probably Didn't Know About The Volkswagen Rabbit

The VW Golf Mk1 revolutionized the auto industry with the US-spec Rabbit hatch remaining one of the most desirable, and attainable classic cars ever.

Founded in 1937, the German automaker Volkswagen started out by catering to the public's transportation needs. After all, the word Volkswagen is German for 'people's car'. Volkswagen's first-ever model was the Beetle , also known as the Type 1, and soon thereafter followed the Type 2, and so forth. The first few VW models that came to light shared large amounts of parts between each other, were rear-engined, and had a rear-wheel-drive layout.

The first generation Beetle was offered until 2003 for the international market, but North American Beetles were discontinued earlier in 1979. During the production of the Beetle, VW built one of the most iconic VW vehicles ever made, the Volkswagen Golf . With a wide range of engines and body styles, the Golf, also known as the Rabbit , disrupted the car market.

In order to give you the most up-to-date and accurate information possible, the data used to compile this article was sourced from the official Volkswagen manufacturer website and other authoritative sources, including Haynes, Hagerty, and Classic.com.

The VW Golf As We Know It Is Dead, With The 8th Generation Marking The End Of An Era

10 intended to replace the volkswagen beetle, introduced in 1974 for the u.s..

Considering the Beetle was one of the most revolutionary cars ever , VW decided to improve upon its formula in hopes of attracting even more customers. Instead of having its engine sit over the rear axle, and power sent to the rear wheels, the Rabbit hatchback utilized a front-engined, front-wheel-drive layout.

Further differences included the introduction of water-cooled technology, as opposed to the Beetle's air-cooled tech. As a result, the old Volkswagen hatchback was even smaller than the Beetle, and had more cargo space and interior space as a result.

9 One Of The Very First FWD Hatchbacks

The Austin Mini, built by the British Motoring Company, is the first mass-produced hatchback that utilized a front-wheel-drivel layout coupled with a front-mounted engine that's transversely mounted. Not only did this increase practicality, but it also brought production costs down. Such was the case with other front-wheel-drive compact cars, like the Fiat 500 and various Citroën models.

As a result, a new 1975 Volkswagen Rabbit cost between $3,330 and $4,030 back in the day. Adjusted for inflation, this means that a new '75 Rabbit would carry a starting MSRP of $19,207.91. Thanks to its innovation, to this day, many modern cars utilize the same cost-saving measures to keep prices down, but not at the expense of quality, hence why the cheapest new cars tend to share the same philosophy.

The VW Beetle, Citroen 2CV, Fiat 500, And Mini Cooper Classics Line Up For A Comical Drag Race

8 volkswagen rabbit and its aliases, rabbit/caribe/citi golf.

The Volkswagen Rabbit hatchback sold under different names across different regions. Across most of the world, the Rabbit went under the Golf name. Since the Mk8 VW Golf exists today, it's needless to say, the Mk1 Golf is an internationally acclaimed classic car today that's surprisingly affordable to own .

The U.S. and Canada had a specific name for the Golf, called the Rabbit, of course, but two other major markets had a unique name for the Golf. With some subtle styling changes, Mexico and South Africa both had unique names for the first-gen Volkswagen Golf.

Different nomenclature:

  • Volkswagen Rabbit (U.S./Canada)
  • Volkswagen Caribe (Mexico)
  • Volkswagen Citi Golf (South Africa)

7 Body Styles Of The Volkswagen Rabbit

Four distinct variants.

The Volkswagen Golf Mk1 aimed to please all different buyers, no matter what their needs were. Therefore, Volkswagen built four distinctly different types of Rabbits for the world. First and foremost was the hatchback body style offered with either a three-door or five-door design. In 1978, Volkswagen made a tiny pickup truck version of the Rabbit, which had the name 'Caddy' for other regions like the U.K. and South Africa.

Thereafter, in 1979, Volkswagen offered the Rabbit as a sedan with the 'Jetta' name, and to this day, the Jetta sedan has a lot in common with the Golf hatchback, especially the Jetta GLI and Golf GTI. In the same year, Volkswagen introduced the fourth style of Rabbit, a cabriolet. Named the Golf Cabriolet in Europe, and the Rabbit Convertible in the U.S. and Canada, the drop-top version of the Mk1 Golf sold up until 1984.

This Volkswagen Rabbit Pickup With A Hybrid Hayabusa Engine Is Absolutely Berserk

6 volkswagen rabbit engine choices, three different engines.

Modern-day compact cars tend to feature either three- or four-cylinder engines, while the high-performance versions feature some of the most powerful four-cylinder engines ever built . Back in the '70s and '80s, technology still had a long way to go, and internal combustion engines didn't have the benefits of forced induction.

The Volkswagen Rabbit came with either a choice of two gasoline-fed engines, or a diesel-fed one. The first gasoline engine, named the EA111, came either as a 1.1-liter or 1.3-liter four-cylinder, whereas the other gas-powered EA827 came as a 1.5-, 1.6- or 1.8-liter inline-four. And lastly, the diesel version of the EA287 had a displacement of 1.5 liter or 1.6 liters.

Performance Specifications

Why now is the perfect time to invest in classic cars, 5 engineered with help from auto union and daimler-benz.

Designed With Help From A Revered Italian Designer

Believe it or not, the VW Rabbit shared many parts with Audis at the time, after the company was acquired by Auto Union. As a result, the water-cooled four-cylinder industrial motor made by Mercedes, and initially intended for use in some obscure Audis , found its way underneath the hood of the tiny VW hatch.

That said, Volkswagen still remained responsible for the majority of the Rabbit's engineering, such as the transmission, suspension, and styling. Speaking of, Volkswagen had the assistance of legendary automotive designer, Giorgetto Giugiaro, responsible for the Rabbit's dashing looks.

4 The Volkswagen Rabbit Was Produced Until 2009

These are one of the very few cars where it doesn't necessarily matter whether you have an American classic car, or an imported version thereof .

Although the U.S. had the VW Rabbit hatchback on sale for a decade, parts of the world saw it on the market for even longer. Markets that had the Mk1 Golf on sale beyond 1985 didn't see many technological advancements, and just a few exterior updates across the years. Yet, sales figures were still strong, hence why the Rabbit was sold in South Africa for 25 years.

Years on the market:

  • Volkswagen Rabbit (U.S./Canada): 1975-1985
  • Volkswagen Caribe (Mexico): 1977-1987
  • Volkswagen Citi Golf (South Africa): 1984-2009

8 New Cars That Aren't Quite As New As You'd Think

3 insane aftermarket volkswagen rabbit builds.

American auto enthusiasts love to modify Japanese cars. However, the old Volkswagen hatchback also has its designated fan base. On the one hand, you have those who love to add air suspension and getting stuck on leaves as they drive down the road. These enthusiasts also like to have the shiniest wheels, and the most extravagant paint on their Rabbits.

On the other hand, you get those gearheads who only care about power. While you can always go and fit the largest engine possible in its tiny engine bay, as someone did with their 600-horsepower Lamborghini-beating VW Rabbit , you can always add forced induction into the mix as well. In 2021, a 200-horsepower Volkswagen Rabbit sold on Bring a Trailer for a whopping $62,000 . And if you were wondering, this mighty Rabbit hatchback had a 1.8-liter inline-four fitted with a Stage II turbocharger by Callaway Turbo systems.

This Ridiculous Mk1 VW Golf's Unique Powertrain Will Blow Your Mind

2 the volkswagen rabbit gti and gtd.

Like with all classic hatchbacks, a performance variant exists. The Mk1 Golf/Rabbit had two different performance versions, namely a gasoline and a diesel-powered one. Unveiled in 1976, the gasoline-fed GTI essentially gave birth to the hot hatch segment as we know it today, including high-performance hatches like the Volkswagen Golf R , while the diesel GTD only came in 1982.

Both cars looked slightly sportier than the normal Rabbit with the GTI having a red accent in the grille, black wheel arch extensions, larger wheels, a lower ride height, ventilated brake discs at the front, and anti-roll bars all around. The GTD, on the other hand, had a much more subtle design, but both models had more powerful four-cylinder engines to give it some extra punch.

( Specs sourced from Volkswagen)

While a nine-second 0-60 mph time may sound slow, back in the day, this old Volkswagen hatchback was as quick as a C3 Chevy Corvette from the early 1980s, as well as Japanese sports cars like the Datsun 280ZX or and Mazda RX-7 from the same period.

1 The Volkswagen Rabbit Was A Sales Success

The Volkswagen Beetle is one of the best-selling cars of all time , with Volkswagen claiming more than 23 million units sold worldwide across its lifespan. The Volkswagen Golf, albeit not as strong of a sales giant as the Beetle, also forms part of VW's bread and butter. According to Volkswagen, in the first quarter of 2024, the company sold a total of 2,412 Golf GTIs, and 1,233 Golf Rs, which is more than a 100% increase in comparison to the first quarter of 2023. The Rabbit sold approximately six million units worldwide.

 Mikoyan Gurevich MiG 3 172IAP For the Party of Bolsheviks with Nikolai Sheyenko May 1942 01

Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-3

National origin:- Soviet Union Role:- Fighter Interceptor Manufacturer:- Mikoyan-Gurevich Designer:- First flight:- 29th October 1940 Introduction:- 1941 Status:- Retired 1945 Produced:- 1940-1941 Number built:- 3,422 Primary users:- Soviet Air Forces (VVS); Soviet Air Defence Forces (PVO); Soviet Naval Aviation Developed from:- Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-1 Variants:- Mikoyan-Gurevich I-211 Operational history MiG-3s were delivered to frontline fighter regiments beginning in the spring of 1941 and were a handful for pilots accustomed to the lower-performance and docile Polikarpov I-152 and I-153 biplanes and the Polikarpov I-16 monoplane. It remained tricky and demanding to fly even after the extensive improvements made over the MiG-1. Many fighter regiments had not kept pace in training pilots to handle the MiG and the rapid pace of deliveries resulted in many units having more MiGs than trained pilots during the German invasion. By 1 June 1941, 1,029 MIG-3s were on strength, but there were only 494 trained pilots. In contrast to the untrained pilots of the 31st Fighter Regiment, those of the 4th Fighter Regiment were able to claim three German high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft shot down before war broke out in June 1941. However high-altitude combat of this sort was to prove to be uncommon on the Eastern Front where most air-to-air engagements were at altitudes well below 5,000 metres (16,000 ft). At these altitudes the MiG-3 was outclassed by the Bf 109 in all respects, and even by other new Soviet fighters such as the Yakovlev Yak-1. Furthermore, the shortage of ground-attack aircraft in 1941 forced it into that role as well, for which it was totally unsuited. Pilot Alexander E. Shvarev recalled: "The Mig was perfect at altitudes of 4,000 m and above. But at lower altitudes it was, as they say, 'a cow'. That was the first weakness. The second was its armament: weapons failure dogged this aircraft. The third weakness was its gunsights, which were inaccurate: that's why we closed in as much as we could and fired point blank." On 22 June 1941, most MiG-3s and MiG-1s were in the border military districts of the Soviet Union. The Leningrad Military District had 164, 135 were in the Baltic Military District, 233 in the Western Special Military District, 190 in the Kiev Military District and 195 in the Odessa Military District for a total of 917 on hand, of which only 81 were non-operational. An additional 64 MiGs were assigned to Naval Aviation, 38 in the Air Force of the Baltic Fleet and 26 in the Air Force of the Black Sea Fleet. The 4th and 55th Fighter Regiments had most of the MiG-3s assigned to the Odessa Military District and their experiences on the first day of the war may be taken as typical. The 4th, an experienced unit, shot down a Romanian Bristol Blenheim reconnaissance bomber, confirmed by postwar research, and lost one aircraft which crashed into an obstacle on takeoff. The 55th was much less experienced with the MiG-3 and claimed three aircraft shot down, although recent research confirms only one German Henschel Hs 126 was 40% damaged, and suffered three pilots killed and nine aircraft lost. The most unusual case was the pair of MiG-3s dispatched from the 55th on a reconnaissance mission to PloieÅŸti that failed to properly calculate their fuel consumption and both were forced to land when they ran out of fuel. Most of the MiG-3s assigned to the interior military districts were transferred to the PVO where their lack of performance at low altitudes was not so important. On 10 July 299 were assigned to the PVO, the bulk of them belonging to the 6th PVO Corps at Moscow, while only 293 remained with the VVS, and 60 with the Naval Air Forces, a total of only 652 despite deliveries of several hundred aircraft. By 1 October, on the eve of the German offensive towards Moscow codenamed Operation Typhoon, only 257 were assigned to VVS units, 209 to the PVO, and 46 to the Navy, a total of only 512, a decrease of 140 fighters since 10 July, despite deliveries of over a thousand aircraft in the intervening period. By 5 December, the start of the Soviet counter-offensive that drove the Germans back from the gates of Moscow, the Navy had 33 MiGs on hand, the VVS 210, and the PVO 309. This was a total of 552, an increase of only 40 aircraft from 1 October. Over the winter of 1941-42 the Soviets transferred all of the remaining MiG-3s to the Navy and PVO so that on 1 May 1942 none were left on strength with the VVS. By 1 May 1942, Naval Aviation had 37 MiGs on strength, while the PVO had 323 on hand on 10 May. By 1 June 1944, the Navy had transferred all its aircraft to the PVO, which reported only 17 on its own strength, and all of those were gone by 1 January 1945. Undoubtedly more remained in training units and the like, but none were assigned to combat units by then.
