Dallas

This mini Jeep-wannabe is a returning guest at Geneva. The first Dallas was introduced sometime during the '80s.
The latest version is powered by a 1360 cc Peugeot diesel engine.
The 3.1 meter long car mocks the original Jeep. But for those who like GRP-bodied leisure on-roaders (because it should not be dubbed off-roader) which ain't so thirsty the Dallas Fun should be just that.


Heuliez

The Buffalo is based on the Citroen Xantia 4wd estate and weas developed in conjunction with the British group FFD-Ricardo (known for its engines, tranmission systems and chassis). The prototype has continuous four-wheel drive and it equipped with a 2.1 litre diesel turbo engine.
The transmission consists of a limited slip differential provided by viscous coupling. There's also a Torsen traction control system.


Monte Carlo

 The Monte Carlo prototype isn't a GT car. "Grand" is a solid word to describe a sports car which has been equiped with a V12 6-litre engine from the Mercedes S-class.
The Monte Carlo is, I assume, a "light" version of the Mega Track. Monte Carlo made some supercars formerly and then disappeared. Rumours suggested a link with the MiG company in Gruzia, famous for their army-airplanes. In 1995 Mega bought Monte Carlo and this is the first sign of reintroducing the name.
The 4.45 m long car isn't so huge as the Mega Track, but it's big enough to accomodate just 2 persons.
