What went past my wife?

[Tyre Smoke]

I'm thinking a Lotus or a kit car of some sort? Looks familiar but I can't place it. She said it sounded lovely. She reckons V8.

[ShampooEfficient]

I want to say Venturi.

[hairy v]

Miami vice?

[finlo]

Looks Testarossa ish to me.

Me too…

[Skyrocket21]

I knew I'd seen those rear light clusters before, ha!


Surely a kit car?

[vixen1700]

Venturi.

[ShampooEfficient]

I can't find any Venturi with those back lights. What idiot suggested that in the first place?

Mid 1980,s koenig testarossa

I googled “Testarossa inspired kit car”

and came up with the RV Nemesis.

Looks about right: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=rv+nemesis+kit+c...

I think they're off a Mk2 Cavalier. And I haven't been wrong so far in this topic. Ahaem.

I believe you are correct - especially the coupe bit

Yep. Looks like it.

Eta: Wife says yep. Looked like a Lambo, but wasn't.

100% RV Nemesis - And funnily enough, far rarer than a genuine Ferrari Testarossa!

(To be fair, if I recall correctly, whilst cheaper than a genuine Testarossa "back in the day", they were still quite pricey for a kit car)

What's it built on then? Because it wasn't Testarossa big.

Probably a Fiero

There’s a Countach kit for a X1/9... so scale doesn’t seem to be a major factor.

Nope! - It was built on a bespoke semi-monocoque/semi-space frame chassis: https://www.madabout-kitcars.com/kitcar/kitcar_det...
