Exotic vehicle I

[gt1750]

Identify this car:

[Satty]

For some rason it seems like a strange mix of the Mclaren F1 and the Nissan 390GT or whatever their really fast car was. Maybe thats because almost every car built in the mid to late 90's that went over 200,mph looked alike?

[Sixty8panther]

Um, what exactly on this reminds you of the McLaren F1?

When this car was introduced to the world in 1993 it was one of the most original desings of all time and certainly since Earl/Mitchell rulled GM in the good old days.

At first it reminded me of a Koenigsegg...

Honestly the scoop and the greenhouse kind of made me think of a cheap Mclaren ripoff.

Okay, that I'll agree with.

Its loading slow but Im seeing old Ford GT in the hood somehow. I still say cars like the GT40's(64), Porsche 904 GTS (63), Ferrari 250 LM (64), Lamborghini Miura (66 kinda late) - were the first of this type of body style and aero approach, not the Mclaren ;-) Its amazing how many different tweaks have been done over the decades to the same basic idea to create so many different and great looking cars. However the Dino and GT40 will always be my favorite of the bunch. Sorry GT 1750 it never finished loading and I dont even have a guess.

eww id say either a Koenigsegg or a ferrari F40 i will figure it just get me a 30 pack and Google B)

[capriceman]

realy i dont think this is a working car it looks like the concept Saleen gave Ford to get Finacal support for the S7? But ill keep looking Edited September 3, 2005 by capriceman

[capriceman]

im gonna go balls out and say maybe a C7 corvette concept

[Fijian]

my guess sould be a callaway corvette..but hey guess is a guess nothing more

[Sixty8panther]

I honestly do not know what the hell this is. It's definately from the early to mid 1990s, if it's not then it looks very dated. There's probably no relation to the Corvette, either way it's Mid engined not fromnt engined.

BTW, This is a Callaway Corvette (Sledgehammer). One of the sickest, most extreeme cars ever made. It's not a production car but it will spank a McLaren F1.



Callaway has made many insane and beautiful cars over the years.



Even an LT1 Camaro. :)

I saw a car today thats almost got to be related to this car. the exhaust on the hood was not just right but so similar. I cant think of the name, I had never heard of it before, it was only four or five letters and a common kind of word too, so much so I said Id never forget it but i did. Darn it !

reminds me of a Noble GTO 3-r but i dont think that car has the air intake on the top... Edited September 5, 2005 by Newbiewar

[Nick]

for those who thought it was the callaway C7, it isn't...I thought that at first also...not quite sure why though...here is a pic for reference...

[Newbiewar]

definatly post 1990's... but probably prior to 2000's...

[razoredge]

Noble - that was it , what I saw today, thanks newbie, but its not quite exact but Ill swear related, perhaps an older or origional prototype.

[HarleyEarl]

This car almost has a kit-car look to it. I'm probably insulting some exotic car maker now.

[Nick]

oh, btw, the car is a 1998 Quaife R4-GTS... :P

That's right. Googled it?

[Newbiewar]

Heh I tried to google it, but I couldnt find it... :( Guess I wasnt as determined as I should have been... never heard of that company...

[Nick]

nah...I went to www.conceptcarz.com they have a great database of cars and I just started clicking away at companies that sounded remotely sporty and ended up finding it eventually...

Note to self:

If I ever design & produce my own exotic car make sure to NOT name it after an embarasing female bodily function! :huh:
