1975 Volkswagen Chicco

The Chicco prototype was developed by VW Design like formal research of livability and development.

The Chicco prototype was a study for: a new body assembly concept, and extremely compact structure, ideal expressionof utilization, increased performances, reduced consumption amd the most effectiveapproach to production costs.

Not to be confused with the Chico Golf "the mark1 Golf still in production in South Africa, this Chico was VWs first attempt at a small city car" a sub Polo (a four seater car a foot shorter than the Polo). The idea was never realised, but was the first of many sub Polo designs that were shelved, until the 1990s when VW’s acquisition of SEAT gave it the tiny Arosa "the basis for the modern Lupo."
