The history of SPJ Claw starts with the brilliant mind of Reinaldo Rebecchi, a young man of just 22 years old.
At a time when the Brazilian automobile industry was facing economic challenges and competition from international models,
Rebecchi had the audacity to create a car that mixed sporty style with the simplicity and efficiency of mechanics. Volkswagen air.
Next to his uncle, the engineer Antonio Piccolo, and the stylist Helio Renato, the Garra project came to life with the aim of offering a vehicle that could comfortably accommodate four people,
but with the aim of being agile, economical and with a design that stood out.
The model was first presented to the public in 1987, at Brazil-Transpo, an event held in São Paulo, with great expectations of success.
Despite the great effort of its creators and the potential of the model, the SPJ Claw failed to achieve the commercial success that was expected.
Garra represents, to this day, the creativity and the passion that encouraged many Brazilian entrepreneurs to develop unique solutions for a demanding automotive market.
If you are lucky enough to find one SPJ Claw in good condition, you could be looking at a true automotive relic, which carries in its DNA the history of Brazilian innovation.
