Hi
ref. the Wolfrace Sonic, I own the vehicle and have done since it was sold by the recievers. Unfortunatly, though I am a bit like the owner of that yellow rolls royce in the film. What I mean is I bought it as part of a business deal with a then friend, don't do business with friends, but I am a full time wheelchair user so the car was never going to be really relevant to me. It is stored in its trailor in a barn. Nick has answered the point on the Diff, the car as has been said is quite amazing. It has two cockpits sat side by sidewith covers that go up on motors, "the computer" which may be giving it a bit to royal a titlecomes up verticaly between the cockpits. The instruments are duplicated in both cockpits, the headlights are hidden with the top half going up and the bottom going down, for sidelights these shine through the front grill. All of the underside metalwork has been chromed and it has two twin weber carburettors. Its rear view mirror is again between the cockpits and is motorised. I do have photos if people are interested. It did appear in either Playboy or similar and had photos and a cutaway type diagram, althoughAs I say I am not really a very good owner of the car, but have considered putting it either on ebay or doing some sort of joint renovation project on it as it now needs to have the tender loving care it deserves.
Regards
Pete

1991 Mercedes C112 concept. Nothing like as beautiful as the C111's from the 70's but in typical Mercedes fashion, fully finished even as a concept car.
Really like that! Never heard of it before and think, unlike a lot of these cars, that it is a really good looking, we'll-rounded design
Terrible pictures but...
The Sethera Falcon concept, wasn't much of a real car but the design was honed into the Koenigsegg CC...
The story is here

Gillet Vertigo. This thing was awesome in Gran Turismo.
Pretty awesome in really life too.I remember being driven in the prototype by Tony Gillet back in the days, must've been 7 or 8 then.
When re-visiting the man 15 years later, his workshop was filled with Alfa TZ's and Ferraris (he seems to be specializing in preparation of valuable cars and carbon fibre repairs, next to small scale car manufacturing).
