Apparently, there was a company named Gurgel in Brazil who made these crazy little SUVs. There’s actually one for sale here:

I’ve never even heard of this before. Naturally, further searching revealed that Torchinsky already did an article on the company (because VW parts).

Gurgels are so cool. I saw one when I was in Panama once and it’s as weird in person as it looks in pictures. My favorite is the BR-800 which looks like something an old Bond villain would use to shuttle around a volcano lair.

Haha, oh man, you are dead on in that description. I just picture Bond trying to fight a fleet of those things. And here’s the troop transport for the volcanic lair:

Of course! The transparent doors are a must to announce the arrival of sexy evil!

It looks like the designer was a fan of two dimensional designs and simple angles. Like someone sat down with a beginners guide to geometry and declared it as the last book they’ll read about shapes.

Still very retro :)

This was when he found out about round shapes:

But yeah, super retro! But luckily I’m a huge fan of outrageously wedgy and blocky cars
