Trivia

The official illustration of the base car, which features a front engine layout, contrary to the Gr.3's version being listed as MR.

• The car's listing as MR is incorrect, as an official illustration of the regular model confirms the car's engine location is located in the front, and therefore should be listed as FR (front engine, rear wheel drive) to remain within Gr.3's rear-wheel drive requirement. In addition, there is no room for the engine within the middle-to-rear end of the car and the hood has air vents in it.
• Unusually for a Gr.3 car, the car has an open cockpit; this was because the base car was Volkswagen's only choice as their Gr.3 car in early stages of the game's development before the Beetle Gr.3 was finished later. Because of this design layout, the passenger seat has been deleted in order to make it a single-seater GT racing roadster.
• In GT7, creating a new livery for the car permanently removes the tire sticker, as tire stickers for the car cannot be changed (except for mandatory Michelin tire stickers for FIAGTC/GTWS races). However, liveries imported from GT Sport retain their tire decals, also permanently because of the inability to change the tire sticker.
