That Time Muhammad Ali Bought a FAILING Carmaker

You know the rules: "If you put Brazil in the title/thumbnail, your video now belongs to the brazilians".

Just a correction. The Puma with weird name in South Africa was a failure, the new Puma Luminari with the orange painting shown at the end of the video is actually from Brazil, the car was seen sometimes being tested at Interlagos circuit.

Brace yourselves, Brazil is coming! We want the video about Gurgel Cars - the company that designed the first Brazilian electric car! 🇧🇷

Brazilians when they see Brazil in a video: “Hmm... Let’s be cool and stay off the radar” Literally not a second later: Watch, comment, like, comment again, goes back to the video... but goes back and answers all comments with Brazilian lore

Cool story, bros. Fun fact: Al Fassi sounds exactly like "alface", which means lettuce in Portuguese. So there you go, the Puma Lettuce.

Here in Brazil few of us known this history, thanks Donut. Its so hard to be a Brazilian automaker, when the ban was still on my grandpa started his own manufacture: SELVAGEM. Until this day, we build buggys, we are located in Natal, Rio grande do norte, its like a postal card, the tourism at the dunes. The Buggys at start used the same VW air cooled base, but now we have we own chassis and uses the vw 1.4l engine. In one of his storys, my grandpa telled me that even arabic shakes wanted to export the buggys, in the auge was a real fever, they are the best buggys ever made hahaha

Only 90s kids remember when the title was “When Mohammed Ali almost SAVED a struggling Brazilian car maker”

I'm a simple man, I see 'Ordem e Progresso', I click.

Make an Up to speed on “Gurgel”. Another crazy brazilian car company

You can still see Pumas over here in Brazil, they're a really awesome car, and they're not the only local manufacturers that crashed when the ban was lifted, well, it is unfortunate, I wish they would succeed in the new environment, we deserve a good local manufacturer.

You guys missed a perfect chance for a “your going to Brazil” joke

We need more of Brazilian Domestic Market in Donut Media! We have Miura too, the Vorax and some unique cars like VW SP2

As a Brazilian it's really refreshing to see a story about automotive history

This history is so cool. Even here in Brazil many never knew about it

Hey guys, love your program but in this one your editor made a lot of mistakes. Showed the VW Boxer engine when talking about the DKW, same happend when was talking about the begging of the factory, when Puma produces only DKW based cars anda you put a picture of the VW based model...

Nolan: but, did you no he have a car company based on Brazil? Me, a brazilian: wait, what?

Não esperava ver a Donut falar da Puma, que orgulho!
