Description
Hess Classic is delighted to present a genuine rarity: this captivating Puma 1600 GTE in its most sought-after version, known as the "Tubarão" (Shark).
Born with Volkswagen's contribution, it sits on a Karmann Ghia chassis and is powered by the legendary air-cooled flat-four engine. Thanks to its fibreglass bodywork, it tips the scales at a featherweight 680 kg! Combined with its 71 bhp engine, it delivers pure driving sensations and authentic pleasure. Its sporty lines and characteristic air vents earned it the Tubarão nickname, an exclusive variant produced in just 3, 500 examples.
Iconic of its era, the Puma GTE is a major piece of Brazilian automotive heritage. Its fluid and racy design subtly references creations from prestigious manufacturers such as Ferrari, Ford and Lamborghini.
Our example, particularly well-maintained and reliability-enhanced, benefits from a valuation report (expert assessment) and has been featured in specialist press. It comes with a French classic registration document.
An unconventional, lightweight and highly appealing vehicle, ready to hit the road.
We remain at your disposal for any further information.
