曾在2012年10月份報導過，Volkswagen將於2013年結束經典車款Kombi在巴西的生產，時隔將近1年，Volkswagen原廠在日前釋出限量600輛的Kombi Last Edition，除了慶祝該車款在巴西市場生產56週年之外，同時也預告Kombi將在近期內於巴西市場走入歷史。
受到巴西新式安全法規的影響，Kombi即將在巴西市場停止生產，結束自1957年以來至今56年的悠久生產紀錄。
巴西市場的Kombi，其實就是鼎鼎有名的Volkwagen經典車款Type 2，逗趣的方型車身、少見的後置式氣冷引擎，讓Type 2車系無論是T1、T2或是T3世代，到現在都還是車迷眼中的夢幻逸品。屬於T2世代的巴西版Kombi，自從1957年開始在São Bernardo do Campo工廠生產，至今已有56年的悠久歷史，共產出155萬輛的Kombi。
Kombi之所以要走入歷史，最主要原因是該車款已無法通過巴西將在2014年開始推行的安全法規。至於停產前的最終版本Kombi Last Edition，除了維持該車款經典的造型之外，原廠特別替它噴上白、藍相間的two-tone配色、輪胎採用特殊的白邊設計、車尾擋風玻璃換上染色部品、尾廂蓋則貼上「56 Anos Kombi Last Edtion」字樣的紀念貼紙。
內裝部分，Kombi Last Edition有著和外觀配色相呼應的藍白相間座椅，每扇窗也都配有增加隱密性的窗簾，並搭載擁有USB、SD卡及iPod等多媒體支援介面的現代化音響系統，讓Kombi Last Edition有著符合現代生活型態的娛樂配備。
Kombi Last Edition的引擎室內，搭載著Volkswagen在2005年替巴西版Kombi換上的1.4升水冷式引擎，雖然經典度沒有原先的氣冷引擎來得高，但就實用性來說卻有顯著的提升，這具新式1.4升水冷式引擎擁有68匹的最大馬力，比氣冷式機體提升34%的性能，同時工作效率也改善30%，讓Kombi Last Edition有著更好的可靠性。
One can list many interesting things about Volkswagen's Type 2 series of commercial and leisure vans and busses, but the most remarkable achievement is the fact that the Beetle-based model managed to remain in production for 63 years if you take into account the original T1 version (1950-1975).
In a sea of lookalike passenger and commercial vans, the two first iterations of the Type 2 Series (T1 and T2) continue to stand out as they did on the first day they came out. Granted, they might not be to everyone's tastes, but there's no way you'll confuse them with anything else on the road and that's a pretty amazing feat if you think about it.
The T2 generation of the Kombi Type 2 series has been in production at VW's plant in Brazil since 1957 having gained some modern updates over the years such as the newer water-cooled engine, interior plastics, instrument gauge and radio, but it remains at heart the same van that became synonymous with the hippie culture in mid-1960s. But like anything else in this world, when something comes to life, it's bound to die. That time has come for the Type 2 after 56 years of continuous production and some 1.5 million units in Brazil, partially due to the new safety legislation in the country.
Acknowledging the historic importance of the series, VW created a Last Edition model of the Kombi of which only 600 numbered examples will be built for the local market, each carrying a not-so-classic price tag of 85,000 BRL or about US$35,600 / €26,700.
Besides the "56 anos - Kombi Last Edition" decals inside and out, the last Hippie-Wagon will come in a retro, two-tone baby-blue and white paint job, with white-colored 14-inch steel wheels wrapped in 185 R14C white-walled tires and a new vinyl interior with privacy curtains in the same shade as the exterior.
The last Kombi is powered by a rear-mounted, 1.4-liter flex-fuel and water-cooled engine that makes 78hp when running on gasoline and 80hp on pure ethanol, coupled to a four-speed manual transmission.
