Well they did the roof-chop for the one off roadster in You Only Live Twice

You know the reason for that don't you?

Sean Connery was too tall to fit in the coupe.

Interesting car - basically a licence-built Lotus Elan chassis with Toyota's own straight-six and an Albrecht Goertz body. Gorgeous.

The 1994 Ford Maya....never heard of it

I realise that it was a concept, but felt it was worth posting. Is it a Ford? Does it even exist?

It exists, but it's from 1984 and that isn't it. The Maya's an Italdesign wedge, that abomination is a Locus Plethore.

Maya

Edited to add link.

That was a design refined bit by bit over time by Giugiaro. Originally intended as a kind of V8-powered Lotus answer to the Testarossa called the Etna, then the Ford Maya, but the styling ultimately made it into production, of sorts, in the form of the Subaru XT.

I do like that 6 wheeled jobbie - did that sell to anyone anywhere?

Yep. This is me TC, I have a wealth of totally fatuous and useless information stored away for future recall.

it does look that way

They have a welded aluminium space frame chassis and a fibre glass body - powered by a nissan 2.0 with 185bhp - but at only 750kg they claimed it could hit 60 in 4.8 secs...

the ZZII on the other hand...





has the same chassis but the engine from a Skyline (tuned to 550bhp), 4WD and they claim it can hit over 200mph..

Basically it's the same Audi LeMans prototype in different clothes.

Also this one - Kodiak F1
I think it looks fantastic, very close to Maser Bora, but know nothing about it.
