Merak wide body

[CraigVmax]

Went to RPE engineering today as part of an article for the vmax200 Facebook page, amongst other exotica was this wide bodied Merak. Red leather interior too, pure porn!

That looks like the Saurer thing. Never was a fan. Ruins a decent piece of design, IMO.

I liked it from every angle bar front on

The rear track looks daft; the blended rear wings don't sit well with the original design; the C pillar slats are overdone; the NACA ducts are (presumably effective, but) crass, and the front end is bland and yet ugly.

[CraigVmax]

Apart from that you like it though?

Naca ducts don't work, a great shame and a silly oversight

Didn’t this used to be white, with a pinky red suede dash?

Saw it at the Mulberry Inn meet last year. I quite like it!

The on road pics look good, reminds me of the GR4 Bora.
