1969 Dogo SS-2000 Prototype

In 1969, Argentine racing driver and mechanic Clemar Bucci built a gullwing sports car that looked more like a European exotic than a small-workshop prototype.
The Dogo SS-2000 used a lightweight fiberglass body over a tubular structure, stood just 1,040 mm tall, and weighed roughly 700 kg. Under the skin, it paired a 2.0-liter Peugeot 504 inline-four with a four-speed Porsche 911 gearbox, disc brakes, and independent suspension.
Bucci’s team claimed 160 hp and a 228 km/h top speed, with plans for limited production and even a more advanced Sport Prototype version.
None of it happened.
Only one Dogo SS-2000 was built, making it one of Argentina’s most ambitious forgotten sports car prototypes.

Argentinian, German, with a dash of French (ahem) horsepower? Hmm…
I would’ve thought the “Grand Tourer” classification would intuitively make it a “GT-2000”.
The “SS-2000” seems a bit on the nose.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Should've called it "Doggo"

looks like a cross between the Alfa Romeo Carabo and a Delorean DMC-12

2.0l - 160hp. Or maybe half.
