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 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.

Project

For the design of Stark, were made significant investments in Research & Development. The design of the 4 × 4 was created in Brazil by Brazilians.

Powerplant

The engine driving the S23 Stark is a 2.3L 16V Turbodiesel Intercooler, unprecedented in Brazil, supplied by FPT - FIAT Powertrain Technologies, the largest manufacturer of propulsion systems in Latin America. The engine has four cylinders, common-rail direct injection and produces at 3,600 rpm with a torque of at 1,800 rpm.
Developed and manufactured in Italy, the engine will also be produced in the Brazilian plant in Sete Lagoas, from 2009.
