This model was based on the Puma GT, the letter &#8220;E&#8221; added to the nomenclature means &#8220;export&#8221; or &#8220;Europe&#8221;, according to other sources. This was the more successful model for all and higher-volume production of the brand Puma (8705 units).<\/p>\n<p>The Puma with four-cylinder engine was criated on a farm in Mat\u00e3o, S\u00e3o Paulo, by Gennaro &#8220;Rino&#8221; Malzoni. These cars were distributed: in Brazil, Uruguay (first vehicle exported), Argentina, Haiti, Guatemala, Nicaragua, El Salvador, United States, South Africa (local production), Japan, Italy, Greece, Germany and the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>The GT models from 1968 and GTE until 1976 was known as &#8220;Puma Tubar\u00e3o&#8221; (Shark Puma) due to the air intake for the engine look like the gills of a
