The TAG (“Techniques d’Avant Garde”) Group was behind its development. The same TAG that is managed by Mansour Ojjeh and financed the V6 Porsche engine used by McLaren in the 80s... and now owns part of McLaren itself.

I remember reading a couple of tests about it in the early 80s in German magazines. I suppose TAG was trying desperately to make an effort to actually make some money out of it (by then it had been on sale for a few years).

It is awfully cute. It is actually made out of two separate tubs to give it maximum articulation. The pivot point is concentric with the axis of the propshaft.

That one must be an earlier model. In the one I had seen the CROCO script was cutout (or stamped and painted) on the steel panel in a different, thicker font.

Very cool, but it must be painfully slow.

Well, rotaries make basically no torque, and that thing clearly needs some torque to get moving.

This would be worth owning just to be able to say the name.

“Sorry, I missed your call I was out in the Croco.”

“We’re out of milk. I’m going top take the doggo in the Croco to the store ... o”
