It is a flashy, lightweight, compact, radical new supercar that brings a revolution to the sporstcar concept. And built in Portugal.

It seems they are pioneering the concept of the invisible engine too.

on the straight-on shot, just behind the brake pedal, the yellow top with black 'plug' - I think that's a lawnmower engine :)

Doesn't look as if it has OHCs so they better go back to the drawing board as it won't be fast enough :)

That's what we want a two-stroke DOHC :D

:) The engine is in fact there. It doesn't look like a Ferrari V12 but more like a Zundapp 50cc engine. They smoke like hell, they're noisy and they power oldman's 40 year old bike's, very common in Portugal. :D

Wonder how it would handle with a GSXR 1000 engine? :D

some day long ago, once upon a time,
some spanish engineers proved they can build a supercar,
completely in Spain- and proudly manufactured the PEGASO.

now, is this the portuguese interpretation of the task?
and after all- Portugal, which province of Spain is that?

no offense, ate logo, collega!:cool:

greetings
Betty :D

Hmmm, so much torque and so light weight; that's not good for throttling out of a corner. I bet it takes a talented driver :p
