Need For Speed II Special Edition. How time flies!

1990 GM CDS-2 Prototype





Not a typical looking vehicle for General Motors. It was an experimental, front-wheel-drive, 2-seater sports car powered by an advanced two-stroke 1.5L three-cylinder engine making 110hp. Styling looks like a modern interpretation of a classic British sports car. Sadly, not much information is known about this car.

Yes it does, in fact it's very close to a Lotus Elan from the 1960's:

Mercury, an '84-6 convertible by ASC McLaren, one of around 500--and a particularly stunning example.

Hmm also saw a ASC coupe I’ve seen this one before but not the convertible

Of which even fewer were made. Unfortunately that one lacks the ASC headlight covers (which weren't standard), but being white with the orange Campy honeycombs makes up for that. Blue-on-blue was just tacky.

Edit: That said, apparently body matched wheels weren't the only option on the blue cars, but I've only ever seen blue-on-blue.

I'd be amazed if Lotus didn't have a hand in this given that it was owned by GM at the time and that small sports cars have always been their bread and butter.

It also had a backup camera and a primitive navigation system.

Looks like a MK3 GT40 with a Volkswagen motor.

This um kit car

Looks like a MK3 GT40 with a Volkswagen motor.

This time it is a kit--a Fiberfab Valkyrie. Much like a Manta Montage, it could be had with tubular rails for a Chevrolet V8 with a ZF gearbox or it could be built atop a Beetle pan.

For my money, the Fiberfab Bonito is a better choice than the same company's Valkyrie when it comes to VW-based sports car inspired kits because it utilized a decklid panel to access the motor instead of a complete flip-up rear clip.

It looks like a Daytona.

EDIT: No, it's a 1980s Dodge Charger.

You had it right the first time.

You had it right the first time.

I was thinking Daytona as well but wasn’t sure.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Really? I thought the rear end was different on the Daytona. I'll go check. *one google search later*

Ah, I was looking at the wrong year.

Greenhouse says everything; the Charger/Turismo is just so vastly different from the Daytona/Laser above the beltline.
