Sorry no pic, one of the chaps in the office asked. Only info to go on:

Round lights that overlap and twin exhausts that overlap.

Ideas?

If it's the front lights that overlap, could be an SL55/SL65?

That Lexus that was on Top Gear? Cannot for the life of me remember what it was called, but it wasn't the LFA, it was the one that they compared to an M3. Something like ISF or something I think, but I seem to recall it has overlapping exhausts, one on top of the other.

No overlapping rear lights on the IS-F

The new RX-8 has overlapping rear lights; not sure what exhausts it has though...

Odd question but what shape are the lights?

I'm thinking it was something modified

So, square rear end saloon car with overlapping circular rear lights and overlapping exhausts.

I have to admit, it screams GTR apart from the lights. (modified exhaust?)

Really don't know but I'm genuinely interested to find out now.

I'll take a stab in the dark here. VXR8?

Though i don't get how exhausts can overlap.... that might just be because it's friday night and my brain may be functioning at less than 100%

Something along the lines of these Porker exhausts I think:



VXR8 looks like a good shout though:

That's what happens when you send a perfectly good Range Rover to Bradford for a few days vomit

ETA: Not a saloon wink
