Huracan microcar prototype (Barcelona Trade Fair, 1958)

Microcar (Barcelona Trade Fair, 1958) · Huracán Motors

At the 1958 Barcelona Trade Fair, Huracán Motors, S.A. presented a lovely little sporty car designed by the former motorcycle racer and maker of Alpha motorcycles, Nilo Masó Miró, powered by the ubiquitous 197 cc Hispano Villiers engine with four forward gears and one reverse.

Its gearbox is a real mystery: although it seems logical that it inherited the van's 3-speed plus reverse, some claim it had a 4-speed plus reverse or even a 6-speed (3x2) plus reverse, in which case it must have been a reduction gear developed by Huracán itself.

In the end, however, it was never mass-produced, as its retail price was estimated at around 60,000 pesetas (similar to the price of the Seat 600 at the time), which made series production unviable.

It is thought that the authorities placed considerable obstacles in the way of selling this attractive vehicle and that the warm reception of the M-202 motor van (a simple-looking but appealing three-wheeler) led to the Minicar project being forgotten, so almost certainly only the prototype shown at the Fair was ever built.

Huracan F-197 and F-323 microvans

The first motor tricycles and a 1956 motorcycle were followed by other models and, in 1957, a microvan called the F-197, only 3.1 metres long, which looked like a miniature version of the popular D.K.W., with four wheels and powered by the well-known 6M engine from Hostafrancs.

Its success (and the number of units built) was very limited, and the idea was taken up again two years later with the F-323, with an engine of that displacement, four forward gears (three on the F-197) and more modern bodywork.
