How about a new round of guess that car?

[Boost Lee]

Umm... A piece of shi*?

 

[The359]

No...

Hint: It's American and it's powered by a 400hp turbocharged Oldsmobile 3.5L V6

 

[Jugend]

The m stands for mosler?

 

[The359]

No, Mosler's logo I think just says "Mosler". The M is for the company's name though.

Mullen M11? I know its a mullen of some sort.

correct

 

[lsk8er]

Yay, i was a little unsure because of the lack of a spoiler.

 

[The359]

Yeah, it's the Mullen M11. You're up.

 

[lsk8er]

alright here you go,

Mitsuoka Orochi

 

[69Dodge_Charger]

I have that car in Auto Modellista. Can't remember the name of the car though.

 

[lsk8er]

PRs got it, pretty easy i just came across it looking for the Mullen and thought it was especially hideous.

 

[-Fred-]

Good luck...

 

[The359]

Is it one of the older Moslers?

 

[-Fred-]

Nope. It's based on a British car from the 60's/70's.

 

[The359]

Lotus Elan?

 

[Cano]

dang... what in hell is that Punk rock?
it resembles a Lola, but nah...

Pretty damned close...

Apparently used to race against 935s, Beta Montecarlos and 512BBs in endurance races back in the 70s... Not an overly competitive car, which is probably why you haven't seen that before.

 

[Cano]

I assume that the only "stock" bodypart left on it is the door-top form, as all the other stuff seems to be add-ons to make the car a "racer" but I cant even recall a car with such a top form...

as tou said "pretty danged close"... that CANT be a lotus spirit, RIGHT?

 

[ShobThaBob]

Nah, it can't be, cuz the Esprit was not around in the 60s.

 

[Cano]

another lotus maybe? Europa?

 

[The359]

I would have guessed the Europa too (the bodywork behind the driver would seem to indicate a midengine design).

If not the Europa, then a Lotus Elite? But I don't think they made those into the 70s...

 

[The359]

Nevermind, you're right Cano, it's a Zakspeed Lotus Europa Turbo

The shape of the grill completely gave it away as a Lotus.

There's a picture of the exact same car on there. Your turn

 

[Cano]

aaah, really? hell. thar one was a shot in the air. had never seen one before. it looks... erm... odd.
anyway, I think we should both go, as you did find the link to what it really was, I just said the name. lemme see what I can find.
here:

 

[The359]

Looks like a Mercedes, but isn't...

I have a gut feeling it's something made in Russia.

 

[The359]

And for me...

 

[Jugend]

359, that's the german roadster based on a 3 series BMW right? Don't remember it's name though.

 

[The359]

I don't know if it's based on the 3-series, but it does have the M3 motor apparently.

 

[daan]

Cano's is a Zil Limo.
