​

Developed by Sunburst as volume maker and people mover the GL was underpowered, not very efficient or equipped but it was affordable, and it got people from A to B most of the times.

After the success of the GL, Sunburst expanded the PICO family with a small van that catered to the small businesses form large urban areas.

Sunburst Pico GT
​

Full specs list:

• A powerfull boxter 4 producing 106HP

Four years into production sales of the GL and GV started to slow down, the costumers started to ask for creature comforts such as power, heating or brakes that worked.



Sunburst decided to launch a halo model, a hot hatch variant named the GT. It was fun to drive on the limiter and it introduced a new, more luxurious interior.

Sunburst Pico Cabriolet
​

Full specs list:

• A more modern I3 producing 97HP
• Normal compound tyres
• FWD

The cabriolet was the model that introduced the facelift, a more contemporary look, with integrated headlights and plastic bumpers and new technology like front disk brakes and ABS.



The open top was perfect for slow cruising down the local seaside Riviera.

Sunburst Pico Electra

The Sunburst Electra was a prototype that was developed to try out the electric tech that Sunburst has been working for a couple of years now.


​

A bit drunk on the success of the GL and GV (and some local hard spirits) the designers and engineers of Sunburst started to work on an Avant-Garde variant of the PICO, an all-electric city commuter.
​

Only one prototype was produced because this car was horrible efficiency wise and was too expensive to produce.

Sunburst Pico R
​

Full specs list:

• The Same engine from the GT only that with longer ratios and a turbocharer
• An overall wider construction
• middle exhaust
• sports compound tyres
• sports-luxury interior

Sunburst built only 200 homologation specials for their rally car, it had all the grunt and spine shattering suspension of the rally car but it is still considered the best PICO ever built and are very sought after

​

Win on Sunday, sell on Monday was on Sunburst’s mind when they entered the PICO in the WRC Group B Rally. And it worked, this move propelled the PICO to cult status.
