Can't fool us, that's an MG Montego with different lights :)

Montego and Maestro - runied the MG name. Faster but built on the same production line as the cr@p versions :)

I dunno, the MG Maestro Turbo is supposedly quite fast, when it gets on boost.

The 1987 Aerotech has to win hands down.
2000cc twin turbo inline 4 with 750bhp.
Super slippery bodywork gave a topspeed of 278mph

It looks very "Colani"

[Karrmann]

woah!! that's faster than a Vector

I like the ones they had in the 50's. Big surprise, eh?

here's some info on this car....


One of three Oldsmobile concepts for '89, the Aerotech III was a thinly disguised version of the upcoming 1990 Cutlass Supreme sedan. Notice the lower cladding, which already previewed the 1992 Cutlass Supreme exterior freshening. Power came from a 230 horsepower supercharged Quad 4 engine. The interior featured leather-trimmed seating consisting of four reclining bucket seats, and also featured digital instrumentation and head-up display. The full length console featured four cupholders and a cooler in the rear.

From the design sketches it looks that Pontiac borrowed a few styling cues. The front 3/4 sketch looks like a Bonneville and the rear 3/4 like another, can't place exactly which.

Speaking of design inspirations. Olds Profile concept, looks like it may have been the starting point for the Infiniti FX.

The B-pillar in the interior shot is of interesting design. Initially it may catch you but then the traditional old(s) buyer could use it for ingress/egress.
