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

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

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

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