An early Giugario design for VW (for a 411/412 successor)?
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.

Not designed by Porsche. I guess it dates from the late 1960s early 1970s. I have not an exact year.

Bertone did some work for the VW Group,like parts of the Audi 50 and 80,so could it be by him.

It could, but it's not by him.
