The Farewell Tour Ends: The Last VW Kombi Finds Its Home in Hannover
The year is 2013. September marks a bittersweet moment for fans of the iconic Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi. After an impressive production run stretching back decades, Volkswagen announces the official discontinuation of the Kombi in Brazil, its last stronghold. To commemorate this farewell, VW releases a limited edition – the VW Kombi Last Edition.
More Than Just a Farewell: The Last Edition Takes Flight
Planned as a commemorative run of just 600 units, the VW Kombi Last Edition was a fitting tribute to a beloved vehicle. However, what Volkswagen hadn't anticipated was the overwhelming demand. Enthusiasts from Brazil and across Europe clamored for a piece of history, forcing VW to adjust its plans. The initial production target was doubled, with a final tally of 1,200 VW Kombi Last Edition models rolling off the assembly line in São Paulo.

A Special Last One: Destined for Greatness
But December 2013 marked another significant event. The very last VW Kombi of the T2 series, the 1,200th unit, wasn't destined for a lucky owner. Instead, it embarked on a journey to Germany, where it would take its rightful place as a permanent resident at the VW Commercial Vehicles museum in Hannover.
A Legacy Enshrined: The Last Edition's Specifications
This final edition Kombi, built in 2013, proudly bore the badge "56 anos - Kombi Last Edition". A beautiful two-tone paint job in Baby Blue and White complemented its classic T2C body style. Under the hood, a 1.4-liter flex-fuel, water-cooled engine offered drivers the option of gasoline or pure ethanol. Power delivery flowed through a traditional four-speed manual transmission, with the engine generating 78 hp on gasoline and 80 hp on ethanol.
A Part of History on Display
Today, this very special VW Kombi Last Edition serves as a testament to an era. Visitors to the VW Commercial Vehicles museum in Hannover can marvel at its pristine condition, a lasting reminder of the Kombi's enduring legacy.
