Camber

Às vezes chamado de Pato Feio, às vezes de Camber, este carro projetou Alex Dias Ribeiro, que chegou à F-1 em 1976. De fato, nesta versão era feioso, mas eventualmente já com uma carenagem mais jeitosa e aerodinâmica, foi pilotado por Nelson Piquet que não só chegou à F-1 como foi tri-campeão mundial. Poucos carros no mundo teriam tal pedigre.

This ugly looking thing is the race car that launched the career of two Brazilian Formula 1 drivers, Alex Dias Ribeiro and Nelson Piquet. In this guise, the car was driven by Alex, from 1967 to 1970. It was still called Pato Feio (Ugly Duckling), but by 1971 it gained a sexier prototype body, and was renamed Prototipo Camber. The nicer looking evolution of the car was driven by Piquet. It was powered by a VW engine, if you must know.
