Batman, your car was found. Contact Harry for details.

Surprised with how fast I got it. A video game I played last long ago, then to Google Images, and bam.

That is a lot of styling going on there. Not good styling, mind you...

[62rebel]

Whyn do my eyes feel like the "Welder's Flash" I received decades ago . All I wantwed to do is see the Car ?? I dunno this one either .. Thanx ..

[chunkypeanutbutter]

I love it.

[Ace-Garageguy]

I have no idea what it is, never saw one...though it does have a few interesting things going on.

If it's as fast as it looks, I could probably overlook the tortured styling.

[Harry P.]

I kind of like it. Delete the goofy "portholes" and there ya go. Slick, stylish, yet different.

Just a few simple tweaks is all it needs...

Wavy lines flow in all different directions. Personal preference I like cars that flow one way

[Ace-Garageguy]

I like Harry's version much better, but it still reminds me too much of this...

Interestingly, that's basically a Caterham 7 under there, which you can kinda see in the proportions, once you know. The "portholes" that Harry so kindly deleted are there as a tribute to the engine that the beast's fitted with, them being a signature design feature for Maserati. Once I remembered where I'd seen them before (I've only built a couple of Maseratis after all...;-)) it was a pretty quick Google to find it!

bestest,

M.

Three years old. I was playing GT2 at two years old, sitting on the living room (now the library) floor, using the Mad Catz wheel and pedals... Tahiti Road was my favorite course on that game, and still is. I ran my first endurance race in GT3 when I was six, I think it was the Miata one.

I didn't even remember the Gillet was in GT4. Been a few years since I've played it. Both of my copies went south a week apart from each other. After 10 years of playing it, I still have a real hard time beating that Sauber Mercedes C9 in the World Championship.
