name this automobile

Jep, I think people are pretty up to speed as far as Tjaarda goes in this board. I´m not sure if this is a repeat, but here it goes:

While i am still searching for Mark's pointy Pontiac, Jani posted an other Tom Tjaarda From the 1969 Turino exebition, the Lancia Marica

So it seams the bowing will have to wait, Mark. It's a 1969 Pontiac Cirrus prototype. There is very little info i could find on this car. This concept looks more like a earlier car design. It was redone from the body and components of the 1964 GM-X Stiletto concept car. It was to be powered by a 400 hp V8. The inside was an aicraft-style theme, with 21 dials and numerous control levers, but i have found no pictures of this.

please guess this automobile.

To quote Phil... "easy-peasy" 2001 Cunningham C7 GT.

OK. Now my turn:

or this (I love this car)

or this one...

or, for my 1000th post

and because I really want Mic to have something to do tomorrow:

Marks green one is Diatto by Zagato, and the silver one is... Fisker? A coach built BMW.

Well-done. Two of five for Jani. I'm sure he'll be posting the next three shortly.

while i am searching for Mark's mistery cars please identify this one

I´m afraid you´ve got me stumped with the rest of them. Not very good with modern prototypes.

How about this one?

The make is obvious from the picture, but how about the model?

BMW 1600 GT. Nice little car.

Great Dennis, right on the cyclone's eye.
Here's an other american design car to guess:

Now MIC I know Mark answered your post on that little Solstice. But I think the TRUE answer is that was the Autobot JAZZ from the movie The Transformers!!! Very cool movie we just saw it the other day.
Jeff

We need a few tries here, there are 4 more cars to guess on this page.

Yup Jeff, my teens liked it.

Mark, the prune colored car looks like a GG50, but with variants, a bit of help on this one pls.

How about this one ?

Maybach Exelero concept.

Ding ! Winner !
And so is that Exelero !

OK, Mic. here's a clue: It is named after a god in Japanese mythology, "Izanaginomikoto," who is known as the creator of the ancient Japanese islands and the father of many gods.

or this one...

or this one...?

or maybe this one?

Last one for now. More digging to do.

Tameni irejie supashi-bo Charlton-san. It is a Sivax Izana witch was presented at the 2006 Paris car show

While i try 2 guess the other ones Mark posted, here's an oldy to guess:

One of our local Ontario-owned cars, this is the 1955 Mercury D-528 concept car. I guess it was too ugly to get a real name, although it was later called the "Beldone" and used in some movies in the '60's.

Glad you found the Izana. You still have a few left to identify.

This one is a 2006 Vigaro Coupe presented at the Birmingham, Midlands 2006 car show equiped with a Duratec V6

Virago Cars

here's an other American Oldy to guess:

I guess it's just you and me Mic. Nobody else wants to identify Harley Earl's 1951 Buick LeSabre concept car.

You've still got a few left to catch up on...

Ahhhh! the Artega GT, just a bit longer then 12ft., this nice specimen will be powered by a V6 FSI, 3,6 liters, 300 hp, 1100kg, 0-60 in less then 5 sec., advertised 270km/h. Will be commercialised next summer and should go for 110,000$

What about this one?[/QUOTE]

This one is from a British Sports Car manufacturer, Farboud Sports Cars are delighted to announce an exciting name change. With immediate effect, the company will be known as Farbio Sports Cars...sounds very british !!! The Farbio GTS at 4215mm long, 1940mm wide and 1170mm high, it’s shorter, wider and lower than Porsche’s iconic car. However, the GTS is only a two-seater as this car is mid-engined. Should go for about 125,000$ However, cough up £71,675 and Farbio will bolt a Rotrex supercharger to the Ford engine to give 384bhp

any one have an idea on what this car is?

It's the 1954 Pontiac Bonneville Special concept by Joe Bortz. It was Pontiac's design answer to the Chevrolet Corvette and features a Plexiglass bubble-top cockpit and glass gull-wing doors.

By the way, good job on figuring out some of mine. You're catching up!

thanks Mark,

there are still these to identify: 3 on page 20 and 2 on page 21

Any takers on this 1?

The 2003 Covini C6W concept. A bad idea made ugly and wisely abandoned. Imagine how nice this car would have looked with only two front wheels.

I think only two cars from page 20 remain. One of mine (red) and one of yours (silver). I gave up on yours because, near as I can tell, it is a computer model and not a real car. I'm probably wrong, but the complete absence of tire clearance and no lug nuts make it not look real to me. Any alternate views of this car (or larger photos)? I hate missing one.

I couldn't resist. I think this would have been a big success. It makes the real car look like a bad Photoshop job...

recaps:
Great rendition (taking off 2 wheels). You're talented Mark.
The 1st (bluish green, not Jani's guess of the green Zagato Diatto), 3rd and 5th pic on page 20 have not been identified.
The 3rd and 5th pic on page 21 have not been identified.

The 5th pic on page 20, 1st hint is: side vents are British, any takers?
