Gurgel Carajás was a Brazilian SUV produced by small manufacturer Gurgel between late 1984 and 1994. The name refers to a mountain range in western Brazil as well as to the native tribe living there. All Carajás were two-wheel drive and were produced with three engine options: gasoline and ethanol of 1800 cc displacement, and as a 1600 cc diesel. It has a front engine and a rear transmission, connecting both by the use of a transaxle system called Tork Tube System, or TTS for short. This layout added weight onto the driving rear wheels, boosting offroad abilities somewhat. Gurgel also installed "Selectraction", a system with two levers which allowed for brakes to be individually applied to either rear wheel, thus transmitting power to the other wheel.
