  Corvette. Aston Martin. Maserati. BMW Z4. Ferrari 599.

  There’s more than a little Alfa 8C in it.

  Cool. Hyundai Tiburon on acid.

  From that angle, there’s a fair bit of Maserati Gran Turismo, which drew influence from the Corvette.

  Clearly Aston Martin. But that shouldn’t be a Surprise. Fisker designed a lot of recent Aston Martins.

  I’d have to say Tesla, Tucker, and Vector because this car will never be.

  It looks like the Fisker Karma Four-Door.

  Quite handsome.

  Aren’t those wheels from a late 80’s Trans Am?

  In person, this is a very beautiful car. Does it resemble a Corvette? Absolutely. But it seems that if classic beauty in a GT is your top priority, this is where you end up. Kudos for somehow adding a retractable hardtop without killing the lines. The rear seats are of course a joke.

  Hot Wheels.

  They had alternative propulsion as well.

  Does this car have actual tires?

  Mercedes SL-class on the rear. It looks very Ferrari California-like from the front 3/4 and profile.

  This looks gorgeous.

  The funny moustache at the front was influenced by a 19th century British copper. Otherwise gorgeous.

  If we have to give out money, give it all to these guys.

  It’s pininfarina circa 1970’s baby. Love the skinny A-pillar. Rad I tell you.

  I’ve got to admit that it’s a surprisingly nice looking car. Will it ever make it into production?

  I see lots of SL in the roofline and Vette below the belt.

  I don’t care what the influences are, that car is the definition of t3h sex. Man, I can’t get enough of how well-proportioned it is — this is one of those cars (now in the ranks of the Alfa 8C, DB9, Alfa 33 Stradale, Ford GT50, Pinin Birdcage) that leaves me in awe everytime I see it.

  I love that this car doesn’t really care about performance, because you show up in style wherever you go. The most menial tasks become a grand occasion…

  Guy Fawkes.
