Vauxhall Equus

Automobiles

The Vauxhall Equus was a two-door concept car that Vauxhall first presented in spring 1978 and showed at the 1978 Birmingham NEC Motor Show. Its name is the Latin word for horse. It was styled by a team led by Wayne Cherry with chief designer John Taylor, work having started in 1977, in an angular wedge shape with the droopsnoot front end made popular by the Vauxhall Firenza. The design brief called for Vauxhall parts wherever possible, and the prototype was built by Panther on the chassis of the Panther Lima, itself based on mechanicals of the Vauxhall Magnum. It was the last Vauxhall concept car for 25 years, until the VX Lightning of 2003.
