vehicles

The first model was the Sports Racer presented in 1984 . This coupé was based on a spaceframe. A four-cylinder engine from Ford was behind the seats in mid-engine layout assembled and drove the rear wheels. There were interested parties, but no buyers. Thus the vehicle remained a one-off.

From 1985 the models 115 and 215 were created . For this purpose, a model was adopted from the Bonito Performance Center , which was previously marketed as Bonito . The chassis of the VW Beetle formed the basis . A coupé body was mounted on top. The 115 received a four-cylinder engine from Ford with a displacement of 2000 cc and the 215 a V8 engine from Rover .
