Is it not a vr6 lump from the golf?
We have a 3.6 Cayenne in at work and that is a vr6, despite having an engine cover very similar to that pictured and also says v6 on it

Wikipedia said it’s a VR6 when I went to look up the first year of build for the Cayenne

Ford Territory (Aus) used the 2.7 AJD-V6 (190 PS):

That has a big hint of Land Rover Discovery Sport around its side and rear three quarter.

[Tony Starks]

Seen in Manchester the other day. What is this little kit car?

Ford Fiesta?

Looks like a Quantum so you're not wrong.

GTM K3. Rover Metro / 100 based kit car

To be really pedantic the picture of the car in the road is a GTM Rossa, which has a mini engine
The gtm k3 has a k series engine

I had a Rossa as my first car
Cheap insurance
Reliable?

The entertaining versions all had the 4.0T Barra I6 - F6X had about 360bhp and AWD, though not many around. Lower level versions were RWD only, which was bit of a novelty in this sector

GMC envoy XUV - pickup (ish) that turns into a SUV - watch the vid to understand https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRDrSPUmHpI

Brooks Stevens and Studebaker beat GM to the punch three decades earlier with the Wagonaire.

The wonders of the Wagonaire can be seen in this period TV advert.

(could also appear on the good plates thread for the very childish amongst us)

V6 TDI Passat?

These photos were taken by a friend a few years ago. I couldn't identify it then and can't now; I suspect it's a rebodied 1990s Maserati Ghibli but it looks too professional to be a one-off. Any ideas:

Certainly looks to have a Maserati Spyder as a base, I like it. Wasn’t there some sort of Bitter resurrection launched, this seems to have a few design cues around the front?

Looks to have a lot of Ferrari 456 about it, mainly front and rear lights.

I’m thinking the P76 “force seven” coupe isnt too bad, in a Granada coupe sort of way.

[JD66]

Hyundai genesis. Saw one today and didnt realise they existed. Had a look and a 3.8 litre luxury car with Hyundai depreciation had a certain appeal. Hopefully theyll be dirt cheap in a few years and I might be tempted as I seem to have a thing for rare obsure luxo barges with huge depreciation.
