yeah had that too but thanks anyway - seems like no-one knows there or forumauto either ( - it wasn't me asking there) which will make the person who eventually answers look very well endowed.

what an interesting shooting break. (is that what they're called?)
I wonder what its story is.
had another look at the above mentioned forumauto, above others, and they seem to be saying it was just photoshop. i dont have the french or forensics
to be sure so i will just have go buy that $300 GS break on ebay and make one - you just talk amongst yourselves, ok?
[QUOTE=ulimator;827049]There are two unknown cars. The first is called Zara (or Kuzara I have seen) the second is "Patriot Concept". I know nothing more about these cars.. Maybe someone could provide me with any accurate information about them? Who made them, years, countries, maybe tech data or any links... Thank You! Can't wait to get any useful information abou these;-)

Well! Anyone remembers this?
Looks nobody knows what these car really are..
After long research I founded short descriptions about these cars, I think they will be useful:
[B]The first:[/B] This Chevy-powered mid-engined sports car was built in Sacramento, California by the Zara Motor Company. It had a space frame with fabricated suspension and 350" to 454" V-8s. The coupe body- work looked like a cross between an IMSA race car and a European exotic, with lots of vents and slats. In order to use a standard GM transmission bolted directly to the differential, a system of rubber belts and pulleys was rigged to bring the rear axles about two feet further forward than the centerline of the differential. The Zara was priced at $85,000 in 1991.
[B]The second:[/B] Corbett Motor Cars started building kits in the late 1980s They were initially located in Archbald, Pennsylvania and built a Lamborghini Countach replica based on VW running gear It was sold in kit and turnkey forms, and was designed by company owner Adrian Corbel!. This kit was not a big success and Corbel! moved his business to Santa Barbara, California . in 1992 where he came up with a ultra- modem sports car called the PatrioL It was a mid-engined design and had the looks of an expensive supercar. It was based on the Pontiac Fiero and was to be sold in kit or turnkey form At a reported price of $85,000, it is not likely many turnkey cars were sold and the Patriot disappeared by the mid-1990s.
What the... :confused: ;)
2 things, especially this "Contach":
As for a 'Contach', just remove 'Lamborghini Countach' from its name and you'll get a proper one - Puma 248 :)
Thunderbird looks like a chop.
There were many prototypes for the styling of the DS and SM during development at Citroen.
That definately looks like one of the survivors .... see [url=http://www.citroen.mb.ca/cItROeNeT/prototypes/sm/sm-proto-02.html]DS 27 - SM prototypes[/url] for more examples

Or just another Chapron iteration... remember the DS based leDandy, President etc.

the thunderbird isnt a chop but I forget the name of the tuner.
Could just be a fake thing, but it's a good job if it is, only the wheels look odd to me
Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers

I've seen that. It was on the website for the company that makes or designs the wheel. The wheel is called Osmos hubless wheel. I believe their website is [url]http://www.osmoswheel.com/[/url] but it seems to be down. Hope this helps!
