Larry's new car?
Ha ha Larry, I think 4 DOES200 suits it better. Not sure if its just the photos but that build just looks "So Right". I have ITS WIKD plates, but I think ITS WIKD would suit it well, especially that front shot. Where's the writeup? AirRide on it?
Black Panther?
BLACK DIAMOND, BLACK PANTHER, NERO, BLACK CUPACCINO, BLACK NIGHT
GONE BLACK, FLAT BLACK, ABSENT, BLACK AND GONE, BLACK MAJIC,
COLOR ME BLACK, BLACK ART, BLACK ON BLACK, BLACK SPEED DIAL

Kjeld -
Is that your latest build? I think so, since I recognize those wheels. Very cool. I can't tell if your car is done, and photographed in an artist's studio, or if it's a CGI rendition....
Here's some suggestions for you....
(Updated) I personally like Hrunting, Dáinsleif, or Angurvadal.
You might also try Tyrfing, because it's cursed. You might end up changing your car's name to this depending on it's reliability.
- Kladenets (also Samosek or Samosyok), the "self-swinging sword" is a fabulous magic sword in some Old Russian fairy tales. In English translations of Russian folklore, it may be rendered variously as "sword of steel". (Russian mythology)
- Jokulsnaut, a sword belonging to Grettir which was later given to his brother Atli. (Sagas of Icelanders)
- Kalevanmiekka, Kaleva's sword. (Finnish mythology)
- Hrunting, the magical sword lent to Beowulf by Unferth which was annealed in venom.
- Angurvadal (Stream of Anguish), a magical sword of Viking, and later Frithiof. The sword was inscribed with Runic letters, which blazed in time of war, but gleamed with a dim light in time of peace.
- Dáinsleif (Dáinn's legacy), king Högni's sword that gave wounds that never healed and could not be unsheathed without killing a man.
- Gram, the sword that Odin struck into the world tree Barnstokkr which only Sigmund the Völsung was able to pull out. It broke in battle with Odin but was later reforged by Sigmund's son Sigurd who used it to slay the dragon Fafnir. After being reforged, it could cleave an anvil in half.
- Legbiter, the sword of Magnus III of Norway.
- Mistilteinn, the magical sword of Prainn, the draugr, later owned by Hromundr Gripsson and it could never go blunt.
- Quern-biter, sword of Haakon I of Norway and his follower, Thoralf Skolinson the Strong, said to be sharp enough to cut through quernstones.
- Skofnung, the legendary sword of Danish king Hrólf Kraki. It was renowned for supernatural sharpness and hardness, as well as for being imbued with the spirits of the king's twelve faithful berserker bodyguards. A cut made by Skofnung will not heal. The only way to stop this is by touching the cut with the Skofnung stone.
- Tyrfing (also Tirfing or Tyrving), the cursed sword of Svafrlami with a golden hilt that would never miss a stroke, would never rust and would cut through stone and iron as easily as through clothes. The dwarves made the sword, and it shone and gleamed like fire. However, they cursed it so that it would kill a man every time it was used and that it would be the cause of three great evils.
Hope this helps. You may detect a theme here.

Hi All.
Thanks for all the names.
Rocky i think you are in the right direcktion.
Drawings are made from Pictures taken of 6672
Nothing to do with the color, the Black is just on the drawing.
I think the finish car will end up in a dark metallic/Pearl - blu - green or ?

Hi jan.
No AirRide.
hydraulic lifting system.
Kjeld
Puma could be used too as it's another word for Cougar, Mountain lion.
The La Fasta!
Nice Kjeld !!
That is very good looking, Very smart move to raise the hole front up from the original position, Now the front doesn't look so flat! I had the same plan but it was the only part of my car that was in a good condition so i didn´t care to cut it And now i regret it .
Are you going to cut windshield on the top and move it up to get wider between A-pillars ?
Phantom

If you’re not too happy with it I will gladly take it off your hands. 👍🤤👍
Kjeld, if the construction picture is accurate, it could be 'suprlgra' (8 letters) since the superleggera method of Italian bodybuilding was sheet metal over little steel rods or tubes.
Since the color is not a factor then how about "FUNTERA" or "FASTERA"?

Hi Bosswrench.
The angel iron/steel rods is only for guidelines for the shape it will be removed when the final sheetmetal parts are finish for welding on the car.

Phantom mabye.
I think VW are using that name on one of there top model
no Kjeld, that would be Phaeton.
Or, you could always go with Panthera!.
Or without the "h", PANTOM
PANT (era), TOM (Tjaarda) and the Phantom. Seems ideal to me.
Although this will not be a Tom Tjaarda design any more.
Couple more suggestions:
- Grendel
- Beowulf (maybe someone already suggested this)
- Valkyrie
You should do a poll of your favorites, and we can all vote!

That's looking great Kjeld!

No It is not a Tom Tjaarda design.
it is a Kjeld Pedersen design, (but i hope Tom likes it).
The name PHANTOM not so bad.

It is a variation of the original design, very easy to do.

I am sorry but doesn't anyone realize that the name Phantom is already being used by Rolls Royce?
Juggernaut.

Yes you are right Dick.
it is not a new Pantera, just a custom car
I vote for Veloce Fast in Italian, looks great Kjeld!
OK, so... I think we are drilling down on this...
Fantasma Veloce "Fast Phantom"....
Maybe “Bada Bling” would help keep some Italian edge to it, especially if the engine bay is equally impressive & shiny.
Brutale (brutal) or Bestiale (beast like) in Italian - referring to the power and stance
Ulfberth the mythical Viking sword
Spettro - another word for phantom in Italian
Nice project!!
