Gurgel BR-800 was a small Brazilian car produced by Gurgel between 1988 and early 1992. The project started under the acronym CENA, meaning "National Economical Car" ("Carro Econômico NAcional", in Portuguese), designed to be essentially a small car for urban daily use. It received great attention and good reviews from critics, regarding the mechanic solutions, comfort, drivability and stability. At the September 1987 introduction the car was named the Gurgel 280 but by the time sales started it had finally become the BR-800. The car could only be purchased if the buyer also bought 750 shares in Gurgel, making it considerably more expensive than the much bigger and more capable Chevrolet Chevette, the then cheapest new car available in Brazil.

  • O BR-800 foi o primeiro automóvel 100% desenvolvido e fabricado no Brasil, fruto da perseverança do engenheiro João Augusto Conrado do Amaral Gurgel, fundador da Gurgel Motores S/A. Após mais de uma década fabricando uma bem sucedida linha de jipes e utilitários, e de se aventurar no mercado de veículos urbanos com o mini XEF, todos sempre com motores e transmissões VW, Gurgel decidiu inovar com um carro mais leve, equipado com motor de menor cilindrada. Pretendia, inicialmente, utilizar o motor bicilíndrico do Citroën 2CV, mas as exigências da empresa francesa eram tantas que o desenvolvimento de um motor próprio tornou-se atrativo. (pt)

  • Gurgel BR-800 was a small Brazilian car produced by Gurgel between 1988 and early 1992. The project started under the acronym CENA, meaning "National Economical Car" ("Carro Econômico NAcional", in Portuguese), designed to be essentially a small car for urban daily use. It received great attention and good reviews from critics, regarding the mechanic solutions, comfort, drivability and stability. At the September 1987 introduction the car was named the Gurgel 280 but by the time sales started it had finally become the BR-800. The car could only be purchased if the buyer also bought 750 shares in Gurgel, making it considerably more expensive than the much bigger and more capable Chevrolet Chevette, the then cheapest new car available in Brazil. The project was favoured by Brazil's then-president, José Sarney, who ensured large unsecured loans for Gurgel's project and also allowed it to be sold at an especially low sales tax. Nonetheless, only about 4,000 were built in around four years of production. (en)

Idealizado pelo próprio engenheiro, o BR-800 foi o primeiro automóvel a ser fabricado exclusivamente com tecnologia nacional. Seu motor, de 2 cilindros e 800cc, era fabricado na própria indústria da Gurgel, em Rio Claro estado de São Paulo. (pt)
