Autoquiz #647 - Finished

[carsntrucks4you]

This car was the last one that Marcos Engineering Ltd. build in 2007 before the went out of business. The 2006 Marcos TSO GTC was powered by a 350 cui Chevrolet engine, had a 6 speed transmission. A rear diffuser,  a racing suspension and racing brakes differ the GTC from the TSO GT. TSO GT or GT2 share the same front view therefor I also accept GT or GT2 as a correct answer

 

The correct answer were sent in by:

I disagree - I like this a lot but couldn't quite place it. Glad to learn what it is - and that it has a decent powertrain.

Reminds me of those brutal Maserati and Ferrari sports-racers of the 1950s:

My immediate thought was some kind of TVR. Didn’t get round to Marcos. 🤔

Maybe so, but that Ferrari is nowhere as "brutal" as this one.  The nose protrudes too far and it is too bulbous.  But then I never liked the looks of the Mopar Superbirds with their tacked-on noses either.

Much as I was a fan of Marcos cars way back when (they had plywood monocoque chassis, which made it a lot more realistic for a budding-but very inexperienced-car designer to think in terms of building his own sports car someday), I think this one looks like a cross-eyed Viper that needs braces on its fangs.

Not as cross-eyed as this monstrosity from Morgan - they had to use VW Beetle headlights since BMW wouldn't let them use the Mini headlights Morgan wanted until the Series 3.
