stanski Posted October 1, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanski Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 I suppose it ultimately came from the E Type but I actually prefer the Toyota 2000GT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDMetal Posted October 2, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The French are experts at knocking stuff out super fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted October 3, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time they do we shall probably have hover boards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
