TAC Stark
The TAC Stark is a four-wheel drive vehicle manufactured by Tecnologia Automotiva Catarinense. The Stark is a Jeep type compact SUV and is TAC's first production model. This project came about through an initiative of Federação das Indústrias do Estado de Santa Catarina or FIESC (Federation of Industries of the State of Santa Catarina) because Santa Catarina has many parts producers but no automakers. The Stark is powered by an FPT 2.3 litre turbodiesel engine. Stands out due to aspects such as individual tubular chassis and suspension on all 4 wheels in double A suspension.
