Sorry, guess its my own fault for having eyes

When I first saw that I was wondering how it could be on a 2006 plate, then I saw the rear, looks like possibly a Corsa van from 06, maybe a Ford??
Vauxhall Combo. Made until 2012 in that generation.
That's the one!

The Stegea proportions were not the best, and the 35 front end is even longer, looks well executed though.

To be fair there are many worse creations in this thread. Also have you seen how fugly a standard Stagea is?

No idea why they went for army green though...

Looks good to me, the normal Stagea is a fugly thing.
As for the colour, are we sure it's not just Nissan Millennium jade in wonky lighting?

The ironic thing being I don’t like the GTR…

The v10 in the viper started life in a truck

Remember lethal weapon film - he pulled down that house in one
Where did this weird rumour even start?

It was based on the much smaller Chrysler LA V8, but the block was designed for the Viper by Lamborghini.
Maybe the story came about because the concept car had an LA 360 V8 which by that time was a truck-only engine?
