The Unidiseño Mastretta was a Kit-car coupé designed and manufactured by Mexican Kit-car maker Unidiseño. Unidiseño was created around 1996 by Daniel Mastretta, Mexican designer. Unidiseño usually manufacturates metropolitan peseros and buses. However, Mastretta was interested in the world of kit-cars so he created his own car. He took the chassis of the popular Volkswagen Beetle and made a fibreglass body, with a similar design to that of the Chevrolet Corvette and the Ferrari 360. Despite of the sports car image, the engine remained the same 44bhp of the Beetle so the top speed of this car is of 145km/h This is the only car produced by Unidiseño and was sold in Germany and in the United States.
