South African Models
Production of the T3 continued in South Africa until 2002. The South Africa T3's post 1991 had a face lift which included bigger windows all round and a different dashboard. The wasserboxer engines were replaced with 5-cylinder Audi engines as well as the VW 4-cylinder engines. The 5-cylinder T3's came out in 2.5, 2.3 and 2.6 fuel injected variations along with 5-speed transmissions and 15" rims as standard. Larger ventilated front disc brakes to accommodate the power of the 5-cylinder engines. Near the end of production the top of the range known as the "exclusive" incorporated rear facing seats and a folding table in the back of the vehicle. South African T3 also have a grill and headlight combination not found any where else in the world. The South African specific T3's became known as Big Window T3's due to their larger windows.
