I give you the Korres P4. Awesome off road vehicle but also a beast on the road. Not in mass production yet but hopefully soon will be.

taken from wiki "The Korres is powered by a 7.0 litre LS7 V8 Corvette engine which produces 505 horsepower and is capable of reaching 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds with a maximum speed of 300 km/h (186 mph)"

little YouTube linky of its capabilities: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QB4PolRV_JI

That's amazing!

Zagato Ferrari 3000:





Based on a Ferrari 330. Not an improvement.

Blimey, that takes me back!
I had a set of Top Trumps back in the late 1970s/early 80s that this car was in - also had the Ferrari Modulo and other great Prototypes of the era

Why why why didnt they make it, has a essence of CLK-GTR about it, if you know what I mean.

Just to stir things up a bit:




Its a UMM Alter.

A Portuguese utility vehicle that was made from the mid 60's through to the early 90's, initially only used for military service... later on sold to the general public. When i was a kid, an uncle of mine had one of these, on slightly raised suspension - it went most places!
Powered by a 2.5 litre Diesel engine that was produced by Peugeot. Not sure if that was a good thing, as i never drove one... but i recall it being pretty nippy!

Sat in the back of one of thse things wilst a frenchman with 0 mechanical sympathy catapulted us up the side of a mountain near Prades (france) the doors were loose in the frames it smelt like there was no coolant in it it made the lada Niva 4x4 seem refined

Dads got two all I really remember of them is as agricultural as the defender but with a 100" wheelbase like the disco. Dad ran them both at the same time have probably been off the road 10 years now.

VW Corrado Magnum "shooting brake"



Don't think I like it, but surprised I'd never come across it before!

Audi Coupé rear lights? Was that a factory job or aftermarket?

It was a concept car I believe, I think only 2 were ever made

Mk2 VW Polo from the side, fat Lancia Y10 from the back

[lufbramatt]

That corrado thing has an air of Volvo 480 about it too.

[Spanglepants]

That is cool in a 70s sci fi tv show car way. The lower front needs some neater styling though.

They do an estate version of the current model too.

Thought it was an i-Miev electric thing, until it passed me and I noticed a tailpipe!

[Fruitcake]

Has anyone mentioned the Subaru Impreza Casablanca?
