The Bianco S, often known as the Furia, grew to become the flagship mannequin, promoting over 180 items on the 1976 New York Auto Present. It boasted smooth traces, a big windshield, spacious aspect doorways, and security reinforcements, with taillights borrowed from Normal Motors Opals.
Handcrafted, the Bianco S supplied premium options like a wooden steering wheel, leather-based upholstery, and alloy wheels. It was powered by a Volkswagen 1,600-cc air-cooled engine with twin carburetors, constructed on a VW platform. The Bianco stays a logo of Brazilian automotive innovation within the Nineteen Seventies.
