Surely the electric love child of the Brubaker Box? I give you the Mia Electric. Saw one as a van in London and then it turned out that they sell them from a Daihatsu dealer in Croydon.
Mclaren F1 seat layout!!
Not only have I seen one, I've driven one! Mclaren F1 seat layout!!
Quite a novelty, and by no means terrible, but it feels more like a kit car than something that has been carefully designed.

Nissan Stagea GTR.
Really? Most people seem to think that all Stageas are GT-Rs in disguise. The reality is that most turbocharged Stageas are similar to Skyline GTS-T Type Ms.2.6l Stageas were extremely rare and were retro-converted, from memory.

There was supposed to be an Audi 60 2-door saloon version too, but in the end that was branded only as a VW Derby
Don't tell the www.audi60.com site they think they own some ! bimsb6 said:

Don't tell the www.audi60.com site they think they own some ! Apologies to the (existing) Audi 60 community!

I may be wrong, but I'm pretty certain there's no such thing as a Stagea GTR. There's a 260RS which is the RB26DETT (AKA GTR engine) which is an Autech converted car (not factory Nissan, a bit like AMG pre Merc ownership days) and then there are the front end swaps (i.e. M35 Stageas with an R35 front end, and WC34 Stageas with R34 front ends) which again are not factory Nissan, but produced by Kids Heart in Japan.
Sounds about right. Mind you a lot of people (PHers included) seem to think every Skyline is a GTR as well, with no idea about the GT-T, GTS-T, GTS-4, GTS, GTE, GXi etc...
The old man and a good mate have both had 2.5NA AWD Stageas, nice cars but heavy and thirsty.

From my Gran Turismo knowledge, as you say, the only 276hp (GTR engine) one is the 260RS 'autech version'
There is a standard looking one round the corner from my house. certainly did a double take when they moved in!

Neither did i until you mentioned it didn't exist and googled it !
I thought you were going to tell me your dad used to have oneHere's another obscure one which I'm pretty sure was never actually put into production with that number, the Audi 300:
Now I'd always thought Audi had originally considered naming the 1988 V8 as a '300', but that concept looks remarkably like the C4 100 from 1991

Mitusoka Galue-I, but I think the Bentley addenda are not original.
