Tatra 602

The T602 was manufactured by Tatra based on the T600, built in 1949. The T602 Tatraplan-Sport was prepared by the Czech coachbuilder Sodomka. The Tatra T602 was a two-door sports car with possibly only two units built. The body is constructed from a lattice structure of steel tubes over which lightweight duralumin bodywork is placed. The car is powered by a mid-engine 1.9L 4-cylinder engine with four carburetors producing around 63 kW (84 hp).[1][2] Power was sent to the rear wheels through a 3-speed manual transmission.[3]

The 602 racing

The Tatra T602 was driven by Bruno Sojka at Brno for the 1949 Czechoslovakia Grand Prix.

Another 602 was built in 1951 and featured a 2.5L air-cooled V8 engine producing around 99 kW (133 hp) connected to a 4 speed manual transmission.[4]
