2 ascari kz-1
8 macca f1
14 random ricer w/ non working meters :mrgreen:
18 something w/ a periscope
20 nazca

[Vansquish]

[deth]

14 had working meters, I watched them at work :-D

hmm..in that case, i'm gonna have to say noble m12

[Vansquish]

tisn't an M12 either :-)

[oldsnail]

12) CRX. or some jap with aftermarket lip
actually.
lots of these look like they have aftermarket stuff which just makes this a guessing game,.

[Vansquish]

ONLY TWO of these pictures are of any car that has been modified in any way.

[McP]

18. Isdera Commendatore 112i

[jon_s]

12. EB Ford Faclon GT

[Vansquish]

2, 8, 12 and 18 are correct so far

[Vansquish]

17 is also correct

[gottacatchup]

1. Audi TT
3. Bugatti EB110
11. Diablo

[Vansquish]

well...sad to say it, but you're 0 for 3 gottacatchup

[Hawk]

10. B. Engineering Edonis

[Vansquish]

good one Hawk :-)

[Fleischmann]

2. Ascari KZ1
4. Aston Martin Vanquish
7. Aston Martin V8 (some earlier model)
10. Edonis (I knew by the colour and the michelin tyres)
20. Nazca C12

[Vansquish]

actually it's the Nazca M12 and you're at least partially right on the rest Fleischmann, but I'm really looking for the whole answer to #7

[Caplax40]

Is 15 a Sunny (Pulsar) GTI-R? All I see is a top mount intercooler.

[Fleischmann]

actually it's the Nazca M12 and you're at least partially right on the rest Fleischmann, but I'm really looking for the whole answer to #7

Damn!! I'm sure it's a Virage or Vantage, but there were a few models of it, so that's why I have to give up :(

[Vansquish]

It's neither hehe...er...well...not exactly either at any rate. If you'd like a hint, here it is:

The full production run of this car was a mere 87 units, some 50 of them were coupes and the other 37 were cabrios.

[Vansquish]

Caplax40, 15 is not a Nissan Sunny/Pulsar GTi-R, it is a top mounted intercooler.

[stradale]

7. Aston Martin Vantage Zagato
19. Italdesign Columbus

Some others were already named by other people and there are a couple that ring a bell, but that I can't put my finger on what it is exactly. :(

[Vansquish]

Good Stradale, you got both of them correct.

[Fleischmann]

It's neither hehe...er...well...not exactly either at any rate. If you'd like a hint, here it is:

The full production run of this car was a mere 87 units, some 50 of them were coupes and the other 37 were cabrios.

If those were the figures then Stradale is right...it is the Vantage Zagato or Volante Zagato.

[Vansquish]

I'll give a hint for those of you who are stuck on 14 and 15:

they're the same car.

[Nemisis8u]

is 17 a corvette?

[Vansquish]

Yup, you got it Fleischmann :-) as for 17....it's not a Corvette...but I knew someone was going to call it a Grand Sport or something.

[Zonda11]

14 had working meters, I watched them at work :-D

hmm..in that case, i'm gonna have to say noble m12

Aren't the m12's meters kind of lower then the dash?

[Vansquish]

Aren't the m12's meters kind of lower then the dash?

[sentra_dude]

9-McLaren F1 headers

[Vansquish]

yup, it the F1 exhaust manifold

[No.1]

17 is a Corvette STINGRAY ... before it was only mentioned as a corvette so it hought i would set the record straight :wink:

[No.1]

19. Is it that Columbo Bus or something like it.. it was a MPV concept, right???

5. It is an Integra Type R, or a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 6

[Vansquish]

5 is neither an Integra Type R nor a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 6
19 is the Italdesign Columbus, yes, but someone already guessed it hehe...

as for #17, it is not a Corvette (I know it looks like one, that's why I put it in, but it's not, trust me)

[ninopan]

14 & 15 are a concept of ford focus that has about 300hp, but i can t tell the exact name :wink:

[Vansquish]

[Vansquish]

hmm...topic seems to have died...time for some hints perhaps....

[Vansquish]

14 & 15 are a concept of ford focus that has about 300hp, but i can t tell the exact name :wink:

You're right, it actually had 304bhp if you want an exact number :-D

[RC45]

!6 - 288GTO :)

[Vansquish]

You got it RC45... 1 down 9 to go!

[Vansquish]

Try try try try try again!!! We ain't finished yet!

[sameerrao]

3. Cizetta Moroder
11. Lamborghini Miura??
13. Ford Capri concept?
14. Ford Focus RS
21. Carrera GT or engine from the scrapped Le Mans car from - pic looks like 1/2 bank of a V10

[Vansquish]

3 Nope hehe not sure what hint I can give
11 Well...it's Italian, but not a Lambo
13 right manufacturer, wrong car
14 Ford Focus _ _ _ _ _
21 is the Carrera GT

[stradale]

11. I think it's a Ferrari with a round windscreen, due to the curvature of the upper line of the bonnet. That means it's not a very recent one, my guess is one from the seventies. It also has to be a front-engined car, as there's heat deterring material attached to it. My guess would be the 365 GTB/4, but the bonnet in the picture looks a bit short for that.
14. Ford Focus RS8?

P.S.: this one is damn hard, vansquish!

[stradale]

6. Aston Martin project Vantage

[Vansquish]

Bravo!!!
6 is the Aston Martin Project Vantage
11 is indeed the 365 GTB/4 Daytona but....
14 is not the RS8 - I actually typed out the appropriate number of spaces behind the "Focus" bit, I shall do it again with an additional hint, the it is an alpha-numeric combination.

Ford Focus _ _ _ _ _

[stradale]

Ford Focus _ _ _ _ _

I don't know any other Fords Focus that could be it. Is it one for the US market alone?

What do you mean with "but" in your comment for 11? Do I need to be more specific?

[Vansquish]

no no hehe...it was a "but" with reference to the Focus...it's a US market only car, there were only 3 of them ever built, they had a 304bhp, 2.0L I-4 Zetec engine turbocharged and intercooled (obviously). Oh yes...I nearly forgot...I think I said it before, but both 14 and 15 are the same car.

For another hint...this particular Focus was put head to head with RC45's favorite car around a racetrack and was deemed superior, even given its prototype status and $300,000 usd pricetag.

[sameerrao]

Ford Focus ST170? (like the mondeo)??? Or FR200 perhaps???

[Vansquish]

Bingo...it's the FR200! Nicely done sameerrao!

Here's the tally so far:
1 British Beast but not an Elise
2 done
3 Bonus car, if anyone gets it, extra goodies for you.
4 done
5 British Brute
6 done
7 done
8 done
9 done
10 done
11 done
12 done
13 British Ford
14 done
15 done
16 done
17 done
18 done
19 done
20 done
21 done

so I guess that means that only 1,3,5 and 13 are left, so here are some hints:

1 I'd say this one is a pretty KraZy propos1tion when it comes to cars.

3 Has a very similar name to another somewhat obscure car which has a chassis based on that of the EB110

5 Evildoers and all foes, beware!

13 That tuned exhaust purrs like a kitten, but when you get it out on the road, it digs its claws right into the tarmac.

[sameerrao]

#5 annoys the hell out of me - I have seen that car in some mag - I would guess it is a TVR Griffith (I think)

[Vansquish]

Well...it's not a Griffith, but you're on the right track, it's a British sportscar or GT. Take a closer look at the hints I posted, it'll help hehe.

[stradale]

You've made 1 far too easy now. Without looking at the picture I know it has to be the Ascari KZ1.

13. Ford Racing Puma?

[Vansquish]

2 for 2 Stradale, nicely done :-)

[Kz]

9-extractors
21-turbo dump pipe

[Vansquish]

...I think you should look farther up the list and see what other people have come up with Kz...9 is the Mclaren F1 exhaust headers and 21 is the same part of the Carrera GT. You need a make and model for each car. Good luck!

[Devilsdog9]

1- Ascari KZ1
3- a vector m12
5- TVR tuscan
13-no clue

[Vansquish]

everything but 3 and 5 have been answered. I'll try and give another set of hints for those two.

3: Aerospatiale provided the chassis for the EB110, after Romano Artioli's reinvention of Bugatti died, some chassis were left over and B-Engineering used them to create a car which has a name only ONE letter different than that of this car.

5: This car is indeed a British Brute, but I think you'll find it's exhaust howl is nearly as aurally fulfilling as the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona's 5.4L V12. This vehicle made its on-screen debut alongside a Lotus Elise and a Jaguar XJ220 in Tomb Raider with Angelina Jolie.

[jon_s]

3. B Engineering Edonis
5. Aston Martin V12 Vanquish

[HeilSvenska]

3. Adonis
5. AMV8

[Vansquish]

you got #3, and you're on the right track for #5, but you're not quite there yet. :-)

[RC45]

you got #3, and you're on the right track for #5, but you're not quite there yet. :-)

Hhmm.. can you post a higher res image of the one you used.

I spent quite a while one day trying to ID that car - and had eliminated the B Engineering car as I could not match up that profile.

[abbor]

17 is ferrari daytona

http://www.edonis.it/immagini/auto/006g.jpg

It is not the B-engineering Edonis...it only (nearly) shares a name with that car. It is the "Bourbon Adonis".

[Vansquish]

http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/3966/bourbon_adonis-2.jpg


That's the best res. I have of it, sorry about the quality.

[RC45]

I found another nice profile - not a bad car either.. ;)

http://files.conceptcarz.com/img/bourbon%20nicolas/nico12.jpg

[HeilSvenska]

#5...how about the Virage?

[Vansquish]

Yeah, you should only see the side view with those insanely low profile tires on incredibly large rims...it almost looks like a photoshopped picture, but it isn't!

and no Heilsvenka, #5 is in fact the Bourbon Adonis, a concept car with a 420bhp V8 and a theoretical 205mph top speed.

[HeilSvenska]

??? so #3 & #5 are same car?

[Vansquish]

Doh!!! sorry about that hehe... I screwed up ....3 is the Bourbon Adonis and 5 is definetely an AM, but not the Virage or the AMV8...for a hint, it's a newer model.

[andrej1]

1.) Audi TT
3.) Koenigsegg


:D:D

[Vansquish]

No and No....if you look back through some of the other posts, you'll discover that only 5 remains.

[HeilSvenska]

Ahhhhh...It's a DB7 right? i mean, it has to be...

[Vansquish]

nope hehe..it's not the DB7 :-D

[HeilSvenska]

there is no more!

[Vansquish]

3. B Engineering Edonis
5. Aston Martin V12 Vanquish

I'm an idiot...xc_cobra got it a while ago hehe...it's the Aston Martin Vanquish with the lightweight wheels and performance brakes.

[stradale]

Have you got pictures of it with those wheels? I don't think I ever saw it before...

[Vansquish]

I'll pull them up as soon as I get back to school on Thursday (in Michigan), I don't have them at home unfortunately.

scratch that, I found some pics thereof:
