FactGurgel built the BR-800 under the government acronym CENA, Portuguese for 'scene,' officially standing for National Economical Car.
The Gurgel BR-800, developed under the acronym CENA ("Carro Econômico NAcional", National Economical Car), was a Brazilian city car built by Gurgel from 1988 to early 1992, praised by critics for its mechanical solutions, comfort and drivability despite its low price point; succeeded by the Gurgel Supermini. Its 792 cc Enertron H2 engine drove the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual. Front engine, rear-wheel drive; wheelbase 1,900 mm (75 in), length 3,195 mm (126 in), width 1,460 mm (57 in), height 1,460 mm (57 in), curb weight 650 kg (1,433 lb). No horsepower figure is given for the Enertron H2 engine, so it is left unset here rather than estimated.

The Celica XX, Japan's name for the A60 Supra, introduced the world's first in-car navigation computer.
The CTR Anniversary looks like a 911 but Ruf built its carbon monocoque from scratch, no Porsche body underneath.
The 228's coupe styling hides a sedan underneath: Maserati stretched it onto the longer four-door Biturbo chassis to make room for its biggest V6, which is literally where the name comes from — 2-door, 2.8 litre.
Switching to fuel injection let this V8 finally shed its trademark bonnet bulge — and only 405 of these flat-hooded Series 5 cars were built before the whole model retired in 1989.
Japanese buyers got a secret weapon in their MX-6 — the JDM-only KL-ZE V6 made about 40 more horsepower than the engine sold in the exact same car in North America.
An American tuner, Callaway Cars, built twin-turbo conversions of the GTV6 that boosted its V6 by fifty percent to 230 hp — turning Alfa's grand tourer into something far quicker than the factory ever intended.
