vehicles

Initially, six racing cars were built. They had a tubular frame that weighed only 42 kg. The bodies made of fiberglass-reinforced plastic (GRP) were designed as a coupé with gull-wing doors . Different engines drove the vehicles. At first it was an FNM engine with a displacement of 2150 cm³ and an output of 101 kW (138  hp ). In addition, a four-cylinder engine from Chevrolet with 2500 cc and 125 kW (170 hp) output, a Ferrari engine with 3000 cc, a BMW engine, a V8 engine from Dodge and a V12 engine from Lamborghini have survived.

The vehicles achieved fifth places in the 1000-kilometer race in Brasília in 1970 and Mil Milhas Brasileiras in 1971.

The only road model was the Fúria GT 2 + 2-seat coupé . Bianco built the vehicle in 1971 in collaboration with FNM. The shortened platform of the FNM 2150 formed the basis. Its engine developed 90 kW (130 PS) with the help of a double carburetor . The body of the prototype was made of steel, while GfK was planned for series models. In 1972 the vehicle was presented at an automobile exhibition. Plans for a series production of twelve vehicles per month were not implemented.

The vehicle still exists and has the Brazilian registration number FGT-2150 of the state of São Paulo .
