The Gurgel Supermini is a city car produced in Brazil by Gurgel from 1992 to 1994.
Compared to its predecessor Gurgel BR-800, the Supermini had a better finish, with improvements to the body and the engine. The engine was a naturally aspirated, water-cooled, 792 cc flat-twin. It was fed fuel by a single Brosol H 36 carburetor. An Alfa 1 28 carburetor was optionally available. The most powerful version of the car got larger intake valves, increasing the engine power rating by 4 horsepower - thus offering {{cvt|36|hp-metric|0}} at 5500 rpm. Its torque was {{cvt|65|Nm|lbft|0}} at 2500 rpm. The horizontal windows were also replaced by vertical ones.
The Supermini was very lightweight, weighing only {{cvt|645|kg|lb}}. Its fuel tank capacity was 10.6 gallons. The Supermini had a top speed of {{cvt|110|km/h|mph}}. Its longitudinal engine was in the front, despite it being rear-wheel drive. The Supermini has a four-speed manual transmission.
Despite its size, the Supermini was a four-seater. It came only in a three-door hatchback version.
Its peak of production was in its first months of 1992, before the factory went into bankruptcy. Gurgel was not able to compete in an open market.{{Cite web|url=https://www.carfolio.com/specifications/models/car/?car=202180|title=1993 Gurgel Supermini car specifications, auto technical data - performance, fuel economy, emissions, dimensions 202180|website=www.carfolio.com|access-date=2019-06-04}}
