stanski Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 Look at it, well it looks fab from rear 3/4 front and back but a little too elongated from the side I think? You can forget your autonomous rubbish but purely from a design perspective! Wowsers pig to park in a multi-storey though? https://www.yankodesign.com/2020/09/30/jaguar-consul-is-an-autonomous-coupe-way-ahead-of-its-time/ Remember the Infiniti Essence that was a concept and a half? Typical Infiniti makes something gorgeous like that and not build it! I think their business model is how can we continue to make boring looking cars for the US market and stay afloat? Then - will it wont it Maserati Alfieri? There is a similar design thread isn't there? Coke bottle shapes. 2 Quote
Ebized Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 Reminds of an earlier futuristic Jaguar effort 30 years ago (XJ22) that did not exactly sell like hot cakes..... 1 Quote

Oh yes forgot about that one. We have a lot to thank the person who invented the Coke Bottle. Quote
stanski Posted October 1, 2020 Author Posted October 1, 2020 I suppose it ultimately came from the E Type but I actually prefer the Toyota 2000GT. 1 Quote

I know I was waiting, they actually built it didn't they then it went quiet looks like it could be a milk float now? Lets see more than I can afford anyway. Quote
GranTurismoEra Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 Was it originally a V8? Could be a 800 hp dual motor 130k Warp speed Quote

MDMetal Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 I've gone off the back of the maser now, it would need to be sharper these days but it's a lovely car and would certainly drive people wanting to own one (actually owning things is a different topic) but instead they went off and built a limited supercar that nobody will ever get the chance to own Quote

The French are experts at knocking stuff out super fast. Quote
GranTurismoEra Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 lol what the ZED should be minus the V8. A 2+2 V8 is not a bad thing for a GT version. What a shame it never reached the market. Still needs an exhaust to open it up though Quote

By the time they do we shall probably have hover boards. 1 Quote
