Here's the new one, and the original.

If this one's too hard/small, I will get a new one.

The exact car I had in mind: "That's brittish in every way, except for one thing. It's german."

I know that this is bending the rules slightly, but I still doubt anyone will be able to guess this. Seeing as there have been no guesses thus far, I will show you the rear of this vehicle. Good luck!

fornasari is italian car maker and they presented a rr450 model in 2001 and from that time is the fastest suv in the world, 280 km/h iirc. later they presented even more powerful version but i don;t remember anything about it know, but don't be afraid, probably sauc3 will give us some info

Damn! Didn't count you coming in!

You're right it is a Fornasari, I came across it by chance, and certainly wasn't expecting anyone to even know about it!

Since the first style drawings have been sketched in 1998, the main size figures have been calculated and set. All this has been done along with both a search for high level technical partners and a fund raising activity granting for the amounts necessary for project financing.

As months went by, the idea came to completion as much as its fundamentals.

The new SUV had to be a modern one in spirit, with the line neatness of the cars in the '50s, comfortable and exclusive interiors and a touch of collection taste.

All this have been added to the best of electronics and technology: powerful and elastic engines, a light though well performing chassis.

In practice this car had to be able to run at a speed of 200 Km per hour in sand dunes and 300 Km on the road, taking the family for a trip on Saturdays as well.

The merging of ancient with new can be also detected in the project development. Computer aid still gives pace to pencil; carbon lays on the model in weathered pine wood; aluminium and special steel are created as a handicraft by the resolute ability of artisans as in a past time.

A rush to be on time to the exhibition in Bologna through many emotionally intensive stages on the way to.
The first step was the show in Pordenone in 1999 where the wooden mock-up in real size was presented thanks to Mr. Nino Balestra - as a collector and an enthusiastic promoter of the Bonfanti Museum in Bassano del Grappa. Soon after an agreement followed with the French SBM - the racing team area in Mitsubishi - a company mastering both the Paris-Dakar and the Rally Raid events ever since.
All this was also made possible by the speedy and passionate car racing driver Tierry Andretta.

Fundamental has been the co-operation and support of Mr. Myron Cottrell - the American guru of GM for motors - the invincible driver of U.S. World Series for 25 years.

In the meantime the body and mechanical could be made ready for the first presentation held on April 15th,2001.

I'll get a new one up in a second.

To be brutally honest, I put up the picture of the whole car because I forgot what the thing was!

Thanks for clearing that one up Dydzi.

For this one, I have all the information ready, so I won't forget!

I'm hoping this one will last a while, but I'll start by saying there's something special about this one. Good luck!

when it is about an SUV my "ignore" function starts to work immediately
