Manufactured in Germany by coachbuilder Karmann, it was based on the Rabbit, and the two cars were mechanically identical, but it was only offered with a gasoline-burning engine. Sales in America ended after the 1994 model year.Power for this Rabbit comes from a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder "ABA" engine, rated at 115 horsepower and 122 lb-ft of torque when left stock. It spins the front wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission. For context, an unmodified 1982 Rabbit Convertible uses a 1.7-liter 4-cylinder, rated at 74 horsepower and 90 lb-ft of torque.
