Pegaso. The Spanish Sports car Pegaso was the brainchild of Don Wilfredo Ricart, an engineer who worked at the side of Enzo Ferrari. The goal was not only to demonstrate, that he could build faster cars than the Commendatore, but also to increase the prestige of Spain and to promote a new Iberian economy of the Fifties.
First presented at the 1951 Paris Salon, the Pegaso Z-102 claimed to be the fastest car in the world, and a speed test at Jabbeke in Belgium revealed a potential top speed of close to 250 kilometers per hour, the equivalent of 160 mph. In 1955 the even bigger and more powerful engines of the model Z-103 made their debut. With optional superchargers, the output was up to 350 hp and the top speed 170 mph.
