Dacon began as the local Porsche distributor, but after car importation was prohibited in 1976, they chose to become a Volkswagen distributor instead. In 1982 they began work on a car of their own, namely the little rear-engined Dacon 828. The name was supposed to represent the year it was begun (82) and being Dacon's eighth project, but it was also clearly chosen to remind one of the Porsche 928. Designed by Puma designer Anisio Campos, the first eleven cars were actually built at Puma's factory rather than by Dacon themselves. The little Dacon 828 used Porsche rear lights and other parts, and looked particularly like a Porsche 928 from the rear. It was sold from 1983 until July 1994, only 47 cars being sold. It was powered by a 1.6 litre VW boxer-four engine connected to a four-speed gearbox. Its was enough for a top speed of , and an alcohol fueled version with three more horsepower was also available.
