Volkswagen's vintage icon
Designed in the 1960s to offer absolute versatility and ruggedness, the VW181 (Safari) is the embodiment of reliability. Built from a clever combination of parts — the rear axle of the Combi, the floorpan of the Karmann Ghia and the mechanics of the Beetle — it delivers unbeatable endurance.
Launched as a civilian model in 1970, it quickly established itself as a more protective alternative to the Méhari or Moke, while retaining that spirit of open-air freedom. Nearly 100,000 units were produced until 1983, prized for its unique style and easy upkeep.
Today, its legendary ruggedness and mechanical simplicity make it the ideal companion for exploring the roads of Cap Ferret and beyond. A true adventurer with vintage charm, the VW Safari promises an authentic getaway, lulled by the legendary sound of its "Aircooled" engine.
