Hello Pierre Haddad,
Mr. William Turnbull above is correct. But there is one alternative: the temporary import.
You may see more information at this website: http://www.receita.fazenda.gov.br/aduana/regadmexporttemp/regadm/regespadmtemp.htm (in Portuguese).

I believe that only 0km (new) cars and cars older than 30years (collectors/classic) can be imported into Brazil. The big tax comes when you want to register the car for use on public roads and this is not defined as a percentage of the value of the car, as such.
There is a table with pre-defined import fees/values for each model of car.
