vehicles

The first model was a kind of four-seater VW buggy . A chassis from Volkswagen do Brasil shortened by 35 cm formed the basis. An open, doorless body made of fiberglass was mounted on top. There was a roll-over device behind the front seats . The windshield came from the VW Brasília , the square headlights from the VW Voyage and the taillights from the VW Gol . An air-cooled four - cylinder boxer engine in the rear drove the rear wheels.

At the end of 1984 a revision brought among other things a wrong radiator grille .

In 1986, a children's car of this model appeared with the Júnior . A single - cylinder two-stroke engine with 3.5  HP power drove the rear axle via a chain.

The Cabriolé followed in October 1987 . This was more of a convertible than a buggy and also had two doors. Despite the same wheelbase , the vehicle was 29 cm shorter. The taillights came from the Fiat Prêmio .

In 1988 the Lucena was added. It had a removable hard top . With a water-cooled VW engine with 1800 cm³ displacement , front engine and front-wheel drive , it was designed much more modern.

The Sevetse presented at the same time was similar, but still had the platform frame and rear engine.

The Redaj was introduced as the successor to the Cabriolé with a rear engine and went into production as the Jipe .

In the early 1990s, an ordinary buggy appeared.
