Duct over the rear wheel reminds me a little of the 550/575M

What else does that rear remind you of?

Rear reminds me of Lotus Elan M100?

Maybe it's just me though....

The squarness of the rear wing makes looks a little AM Vantage-ish (90's version) but the tapered rear screen gets me thinking Corvette again. Anyway, if it's got custom coachwork it might be totally irrelavant to what the car is based upon.

Some interesting posts here...

Maybe that's a Pininfarina badge just in front of the rear wheel.

Its either a Zender or Keonig conversion, is the guy in the picture Willy Keonig?

Both, or is one a Keonig special and the other a Zender?

for extra points, its based on an Omega (of all things!) and is powered by a twin-turbo version of the Omega's V6.

Well done!

I'll give you that. It is the Pininfarina Chronos - based upon the Lotus Carlton would you believe, so with a 3.6 litre Lotus developed twin turbo. Which should make it capable of 190mph or more (176mph in the Carlton).

Early 1990's.

I think the design cues for the 406 Coupe are there too.

[calumcousins]

must admit, i cheated a bit, finding it on the pininfarina website after seeing the badge...

Looking through the site is quite interesting too....they really have some good AND bad days there it seems....

Good Day:


BAAAAADDD Day...!:

You are too damned good!

I thought that was a really tough one.

Evante 140 TC - British Built.

I think it looks a lot like a TVR S series from the side.

(In answer to your question, I have a lot of obscure motors in my Photobucket files - and I am armed with a range of Daily Express Guides to World Cars from over the years...)
