The meaning of KFA remains unclear till date - VW employees explained them as follows:
KFA cars are simply assigned a "project number" until it's clear whether the model will be built in a series or not!
Once this decision has been made by VW management, there are two possibilities:
-
The cars go into series production and are therefore entered into the standard VW systems/databases,
such as KVS or ELSA, to ensure compliance with various VW procedures and fundamentals. -
The cars are not built by agreement within the group, which means the immediate scrapping of the prototypes and parts with VINs or serial numbers – a standard procedure! Parts without such numbers, on the other hand, often find their way from "disposal companies" to local tuning enthusiasts, collectors, or other willing buyers!
