A route into Portugal's motoring history

Begin with representative, well-documented records from different marques, then continue into the complete source-backed catalog below.

1967 Bravia Chaimite Bravia's foundational welded-armour 4x4 family, created in Portugal without a Cadillac Gage licence after study of the V-100 Commando. The amphibious V-200 APC carried a driver plus about ten troops and is commonly reported at 5.60 m long, 2.26 m wide, 6.8–8.5 tonnes, up to 99 km/h on road, about 4.8 km/h in water and roughly 800 km range. Production centred on the V-200 APC and V-600 81/120 mm mortar carrier; the V-700 anti-tank vehicle also entered service. Documented mission derivatives include the Armada rocket-launcher, prototype V-300 20 mm and V-400 75/90 mm fire-support vehicles, V-500 command vehicle, V-800 ambulance, V-900 recovery vehicle and V-1000 water-cannon vehicle. These share one chassis lineage and remain variants, not fabricated separate series. Proposed 6x6 Mk II and 8x8 Mk III developments did not enter production. →
