El todoterreno espanol que humillo a Land Rover y acabo destruido por la politica

The Spanish SUV that humiliated Land Rover and was ultimately destroyed by politics. The story of Santana Motor is one of the most fascinating in the Spanish automotive industry: a factory in Linares, Jaén, that began in 1958 assembling Land Rovers with kits from Solihull and ended up developing engines, turbodiesels, and technology that the British themselves secretly adopted for their own models. A story of industrial ambition, corporate betrayal, political scandals, soldiers killed in Kosovo, and a closure that left 1,341 workers unemployed. And an ending no one expected: the return of the brand in 2025 with Chinese capital and the new Santana 400 manufactured once again in Linares.
