The Bianco, designed by Ottorino (Toni) Bianco, debuted on the 1976 Sao Paulo Worldwide Motor Present, that includes a bolstered plastic and fiberglass physique with Volkswagen mechanicals. Impressed by European design, it achieved reasonable success, producing round 20 items month-to-month earlier than shutting down in 1979 as a consequence of inside disputes.

The Bianco S, often known as the Furia, grew to become the flagship mannequin, promoting over 180 items on the 1976 New York Auto Present. It boasted glossy strains, a big windshield, spacious aspect doorways, and security reinforcements, with taillights borrowed from Normal Motors Opals.
Handcrafted, the Bianco S provided premium options like a wooden steering wheel, leather-based upholstery, and alloy wheels. It was powered by a Volkswagen 1,600-cc air-cooled engine with twin carburetors, constructed on a VW platform. The Bianco stays a logo of Brazilian automotive innovation within the Seventies.
