Anibal Auto SL was a Spanish automobile manufacturer based in Motril, Granada, that operated from 1990 to 1992. The company was founded by designer Francisco Podadera, who had previously showcased several prototypes under the name Raider since 1986. Anibal Auto focused on producing a two-seater coupé derived from the Seat Ibiza hatchback.
The Anibal F-100, introduced in 1990, featured distinctive design elements, including retractable 'eyelid' covers at the front and a prominent rear spoiler on the boot lid. The production plan aimed for an output of approximately 500 units per year; however, only 50 vehicles were completed before the company ceased operations in 1992. The F-100 was powered by a 1.5-litre engine from the Ibiza, offering outputs of either 90 or 100 horsepower with fuel injection, enabling the car to reach a top speed of 120 mph (193 km/h).
After the closure of Anibal Auto, Francisco Podadera continued his work in automotive design and was reportedly preparing to launch a new company in 1999.
