Weird. But I didn't know it existed.

Believed to be the test bed for the proposed V16 engine that was due to go in the, then new, Phantom. The working Phantom V16 now owned by Rowan Atkinson.

I wonder if they would have run into a trademark dispute with Boeing if they tried to market it.

According to this article it seems to be completely separate development projects:

It's easy to miss from the top photo, the "gills" of the 767 that earned it the "Goldfisch" nickname

Not brave enough to own one, but a lot of kit, looks, and an awesome soundtrack for the money. If you like big throaty engines, that is.

Do you mean Touaregs in general or a diesel V10 engine in one?

I did try and scan the blurb for something funny, but looking at a wall of all caps just made me feel ill.

The V10 is rare but even rarer is the W12

Like that. Seems a shame that the way they’ve done the paintwork doesn’t look at all like a car from 1966, but that’s personal preference I guess. Unless it was innovative there too...

Reminds me of the Mini Marcos.

I was just browsing the world on Google earth, on street view in Japan I found this Micra (March) nismo. I didn't know it existed but Evo ran a story on it in 2013

"More promising is the March Nismo S, which uses a 114bhp/115lb ft 1.5-litre engine linked to a five-speed manual gearbox. It also gains a new exhaust system, sharper suspension, bulkier brakes and new 16in alloy wheels wearing Bridgestone Potenza tyres."

I'm pretty sure we had a 1.6 sport Micra at some point in the UK but not Nismo, shame because those wheels look ace.

[Veeayt]

I didn't know this crop of Micras existed at all, so thanks for that

[Benmac]

In Japan you can get a Nismo version of a fair few things in the Nissan range. I was in their HQ museum / showroom thing in Yokohama a couple of weeks back and they had most of them there.

Note anyone?



Serena?!?!?

[GIYess]

Haha We had a serena when I was small. Looked more like this though...
