Here's the last car this company made.


Also named "Rivolta," but more resembles the '60s-'70s Iso Grifo (similar to early '70s Maserati Ghibli/Indy body lines).

Bingo, Will Y. Nice!!!

Anyone guessing some sorta 1960s-70s Italian GT was, I think, in the right ballpark.

Just for reference, a couple of Iso Grifos, 1970 (top) and 1969 (bottom). I guess the dual side-vents are a trait specific to the marque??

Looks like a 'tooned' version of a 250TdF

I was thinking the same thing - about looking “tooned.”

OK, trying to find that sweet spot between completely obscure (too difficult) and totally obvious (too easy).

The SZ was a lucky guess.
I did have to Google the model, but didn't specifically search for a rear shot.

The Mercury Capri was easy because it was a US Model and only ~30 years ago.

Looks like the car driven in the Mad Max movies. Think it was something like Interceptor V8 or something like that.

That's all I can remember from the movies - otherwise I would be cheating. Being an American marque - I would venture to guess it is a Ford, but that's all I got.

AMC Javelin or AMX were my best guesses. Has a bit of Challenger look to it.

AMC Javelin's a pretty good guess. And, yes, it's def a '70s muscle car.

Another hint: it's a Ford but made for sale overseas, not the USDM.

Probably pretty easy to guess the marque. But what's the model?

My first thought was the Urraco, but a quick search doesn't match up.
Also looks close to a Maserati Khamsin, but not quite.

Believe I have seen pictures in the past, but can't remember the marque or model. Believe it is British??

Gran Turismo is my only exposure to it. Only 4 road legal produced. Thought it'd be harder.

Also, had never heard of the Lister Storm. Only 4 road cars made? For homologation?

wow I didn’t realize it was that rare. I also remember seeing an Aston Martin Lagonda, I didn’t even know that car existed, and I like square cars, I loved it.

I went to college in Atlanta and my cousin did SCCA touring racing out there so, I was at road Atlanta a lot. I was there when the Porsche GT1 flipped on the back straight.

First impressions:

Overall shape made me think of a fox-body Mustang, but rear window and lines from b- to c-pillar as well as the shape or the rear wheel arch suggest that it's European and from the 1990s--I'm guessing British or Italian, not German, French or Scandanavian.

Headlights and overall "boxy-ness" (and the cherry red color) sorta remind me of an Alfa SZ. But those bulges on the sides of the bonnet are odd and distinctive. Basically, I have no idea re: make and model without searching on the Net.

Will be really curious to hear what others think!

Oh, woops. I thought we'd collectively settled on Lister Storm as the guess. (Unless your last post was in jest!)
