I guess that is one way of looking at it!

The world of car design can get pretty incestuous sometimes!

This one was an easy one. This is a 1993 Cizeta V16T or Cizeta-Moroder V16T. This super car was build between 1991 and 195. The first prototype was presented at the 1988 Geneva Auto Show. Rumours say that this car orginally planed as the ne Lamborghini Diablo but its design was to brutal for Lamborghini owner Chrysler. the V16V is powered by two transversal mounted Lamborghini Urraco V8 engines. A total of 12 cars including 1 prototype. One of them is a yellow spyder all others are coupes.

I got it because by chance I happened to have watched this on the Motor Trend Channel last week.  Lucky coincidence!  https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=693060571284149

Very interesting. Usually such cars do not slip my notice, but I never heard of this one. Sounds interesting, especially the engine.

The only reason I knew it was because of the game Gran Turismo 6, which is the only game I own. I’ve played all the GT series games, and never found any interest in any other video games. Other than being an awesome realistic racing game to play, Gran Turismo has always been good at giving a detailed background of the history, production, and performance stats of almost all of the cars in their games.

Same here. But I sure hope the real thing handles better than the one in the game ?

Haha... yeah, like a rocket in drift mode.

However, maybe it does handle that way. When driving the RUF Yellowbird I couldn’t believe how hard to control it was, and then I saw the YouTube video of it on Nurburgring being driven to its limits by a professional race car driver, and it really does handle like that.
