Petes 16V Sport Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Lupo means Wolf in german/latin .. which was a name given because of the connection with Wolfsburg (VW HQ). Breaking the tradition to name VW cars after winds. Golf - german for the gulf stream. etc...Wolfy probably has a similar connection with Wolfsberg.

Silver! Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Ah yes. The Beetle winds bow regularly up here in the near North! As do the Polo winds in New Zealand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philplop Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Neither would I if I didn't have this assignment to do on something completely unrelated!Well, I knew most of them were named after winds, I didn't know which wind each one was. Saying that, I still don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-W Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 (edited) Only applies to Watercooled VW's. Beetles were never officially known as a "Beetle" it was just a nickname that stuck. Type1 - "beetle"Type2 - camper / transporterType3 - Squareback / Notchback / FastbackType4 - 2/4 door saloon /estate replaced by the K70. Scirocco- Hot North African desert wind that blows into Italy Original name was rumored to be Blizzard. Golf - Gulf stream winds (a high altitude North-south 100 mmph wind) Jetta - Jet stream (East/West wind, affecting Pacific air travel) Passat - Trade winds Vento - Blowing/windy (E/I) Polo - The Polo name has been a source of speculation. Some people believed it was a reference to polar winds, in keeping with Volkswagen's penchant for naming its watercooled cars after winds and currents, but many fans insist that it is in fact a pun on the Golf's name, because "golf" and "polo" are both words (in both English and German) for upper-class sports. The fact that the Polo's original saloon derivative was named the Derby gives more credence to the latter theory, since derby, like polo, refers to an equestrian sport. Santana - Hot desert blast accross the Sea of Cortez. Corrado - Not a wind, it's derived from Spanish Correr which means to run. The original name for the car was Taifun (Typhoon) which means huricane except it was already a registered trade mark for a GM truck.

Dark Posted April 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 a little correction a hurricane is different from a typhoon.typhoon:• noun a tropical storm in the region of the Indian or western Pacific oceans. — ORIGIN partly from Arabic, partly from a Chinese dialect word meaning ‘big wind’.we can get hurricanes in Europe but not typhoons.unless its an aircraft.
