What did I see today? I'm stumped.

[Fun Bus]

I was in Leicester today and saw a car I didn't recognise at all - not even the badge. It was a black coupe registered as '37 BEN' (although this shows as an S5). It was right hand drive with a turbine style alloy and 2 integrated exhausts. The rear lights were individual pods. It looked far too well built for a kit car of any kind and I don't know why but reminded me of a Spyker in the design cues it had. The badge is hard to describe buy wasn't a Spyker badge despite my earlier comment.

I'm beat. Any help from the collective?!

Surprisingly often these threads end up with the Ronart Lightning. Not sure it fits your description though...

[Fun Bus]

Nope. Not one of those. There were only 2 light pods on each side. The exhausts were integrated a bit like a Honda Civic.

Are you sure it wasn't the S5 "chavved"?

Apart from not recognising the badge - it sounds very similar to an Alfa Romeo 8C. They can come with turbine alloys as well. On my phone so cannot post any pics currently.

That's the actual car I saw! Top work! Thank-you!

I was alongside it at lights and a couple of school lads crossed in front of it. They looked, commented. Looked again. They then walked back over to it to look again, screwed their faces up in a "WTF?" way and went on their way!

I'll sleep well now.

Good thread for a selection of unusual cars too
