1995 Daewoo Bucrane

The 1995 Daewoo Bucrane by ItalDesign was a stylish, prestigious four-seater hatchback coupé with formal references to the design of the 1960s: a long bonnet with pronounced wings and a sloping rear end.

The appearance was decidedly sporting: a stylish, prestigious four-seater hatchback coupé with formal references to the design of the 1960s: a long bonnet with pronounced wings and a sloping rear end. The window glazing continued after the door opened as far as the roll bar to offer maximum interior visibility.

The two-stage system of access to the passenger compartment involved a door-opening maneuver that triggered the raising of the window and the transparent half-roof in a wing-like movement. A cross-section through the two raised tops describes an "M," precisely like a gull in flight. Once the two window-roof elements are removed, the Bucrane becomes an open-topped car with excellent structural stiffening of the chassis, windscreen, and roll-bar. The body is carbon fiber and steel.

Its six-cylinder engine is in a front longitudinal position. The engine is a 3200 cc 240 hp V6, front-wheel drive with four-speed automatic transmission.
