Portuguese VW importer sold here a lot of VW Brasilias as well as a certain number of Beetles and Passats made in Brazil. In this case I would say it's a Passat LS (hatchback) that was introduced in late 1978. The advert was published in December 1978 and the leaflet is also a Portuguese edition.

The car on the main pic has all features and details of an early German Passat (rounded bumpers, chrome door handles, orange back indicators, not openable triangle window in the front doors). Any pics of front or back? The German Passat LS had squarish headlights and all early Passats aluminium-badges on the back (and the "PASSAT"-badge on the left)

In that case this may be, indeed, a German-made one that was used to mimic a real PSP car.
