Rona!d Posted April 29, 2017 Share #9683 Â Posted April 29, 2017 No Lambo although there is an Italian connection. This is a 21st century version of an iconic Italian sportscar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted April 29, 2017 Share #9684  Posted April 29, 2017 I'm thinking the inspiration might be the Lancia Stratos. Perhaps the new Stratos from the better part of a decade ago? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkCambridgeshire Posted April 29, 2017 Share #9685  Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) The front end suggests Lamborghini Aventador but the air intake in the first image does not.  dunk Edited April 29, 2017 by dkCambridgeshire Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted April 29, 2017 Share #9686  Posted April 29, 2017 I'm thinking the inspiration might be the Lancia Stratos. Perhaps the new Stratos from the better part of a decade ago?    Congratulation, Stuart!  It´s the London based Fenomenon Stratos design model (I think not fully road going). Designer is Stratos collector Chris Hrabalek who had 9 (NINE!) original Stratos in his collection when he was in his mid-twenties. A small series was planned but never made it. Only some cars were made. The most developed and tested one by Michael Stoschek. Based on a Ferrari 430 Scuderia.  Really sad, this would have been a "fun car". Welcome, dear visitor!

stuny Posted April 30, 2017 Share #9688  Posted April 30, 2017 Thank you Rona|d. Too bad it wasn't a success.  Here's a very generous crop (with some messiness due to cloning out things in the background, and of course hiding the logo) from this year's NY International Auto Show:  Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted April 30, 2017 Share #9689  Posted April 30, 2017 There is a faint odour of Goggomobil about it but in any case, it definitely has swing rear axles  The other company I wondered about was Lidovka in Czechoslovakia, who made a series of prototypes/low production models in the 40's and 50's: T6, T7 etc.  Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted May 1, 2017 Share #9699  Posted May 1, 2017 It's got that cod transatlantic Vauxhall Cresta feel about it. They had a rather nice 3.3L straight six in the latter part of their life, which I think was a Holden engine. All you ever had to do was change the oil plus plugs and they would do 300,000 miles if a bit on the thirsty side. I never understood why the police preferred the troublesome Mark 4 Ford Zephyrs (head gaskets, big ends, rear suspension bushes, etc, etc, etc).  Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
