Dogo SS-2000's interior.

The Dogo SS-2000 is a prototype car that was built in Argentina in 1969. It was presented in 1970 at the Human Comfort Exhibition (in Castilian: Exposición del Confort Humano).

Design and mechanics

[edit]

This prototype was designed and built by the Argentine racing driver and mechanic Clemar Bucci in his workshop located in Munro (Vicente López Partido, Buenos Aires).[2] For the manufacture of this car, he had the participation of his brother Rolando Bucci and a group of collaborators, completing it in just five months.[2]

The Dogo SS-2000 was a grand tourer with a wedge-shaped design, rectilinear lines and smooth panels. Some striking gull-wing doors stood out in its design. The body was made of reinforced plastic and was mounted on a box-shaped, single center beam frame. It had a 2000 cc L4 engine with 160 HP[1][3] sourced from a Peugeot 504,[1] four-speed synchronized gearbox sourced from a Porsche 911, and four-wheel disc brakes.[2]

Performance

[edit]

The people who built the car stated that its top speed was 228 km/h, this partly thanks to its light weight (only 700 kg).[3]

In the present

[edit]

The car is still exist and is preserved in the Bucci Museum located in Zenón Pereyra, Santa Fe Province.[3]
