Kit car?

adamwich 05-29-2005 05:32 PM

:shock: I have never seen or heard anything about this car before! It looks stange!

But as blah said, it could be a kit car...

TT 05-29-2005 05:35 PM

Could be a kit car yes, but obviously I have no idea really. The rear lights are Supra's ones, but beside that, it could be anything really!

SFDMALEX 05-29-2005 05:50 PM

Hmm Supra rear lights, gated shifter, I say its a kit car.

TT 05-29-2005 05:54 PM

Dang I need to put a name on the pics for my archive :D if it's a kit car there must be somebody knowing what kind of kit is it :D

HeilSvenska 05-29-2005 06:21 PM

Do you reckon those initials JPP could have anything to do with the name?

TT 05-29-2005 06:22 PM

Well of course I tried to google for them and no luck :bah:

ZfrkS62 05-29-2005 06:29 PM

this is one elusive kit :? i can't even figure out what the base car was :bah:

TT 05-29-2005 06:33 PM

Sadly I didn't hear it run, so no idea what kind of engine it could hide either :bah:

SilviaEvo 05-29-2005 08:14 PM

that is some fucked up kit car. i cant even begin to fathom wha it was originally.

RC45 05-29-2005 09:21 PM

It looks quite well executed - probably more prototype than kit car.

sikx5 05-29-2005 11:17 PM

It must be some sort of prototype?

Supra rear lights, BMW front lights, and what looks like 91 front celica indicators? Quad exhuast, massive air duct on the roof, Seems to be mid-engined, looks well built......i'll have to do some searching.

AlienDB7 05-29-2005 11:21 PM

Just a wild guess, could it be a variation of that swiss "Supercar" with a tuned volvo T5? Can't remember the name of it, saw it featured on Auto Motor und Sport a while back.

Edit: never mind, the car doesn't look like the Orca SC7 at all :oops:

nthfinity 05-30-2005 12:59 AM

well, all im getting with JJP that is automotive related is some Polish maker...

there are also some archiectural desingers :-\ seems you spotted a very rare car indeed

blah 05-30-2005 01:38 AM

I didnt find anything either. Looks like it has lines based of the CLK-GTR, and Maca F1.

gobs3z 05-30-2005 04:41 AM

I looked for awhile and found nothing, but it's all kit car...it has a porsche shift knob and a Ferrari dash in the center.

Fleischmann 05-30-2005 04:43 AM

^^All I understand is it has a V12 from mercedes.

bultaco_metralla 05-30-2005 04:47 AM

Its a kit from Jean-Pierre Pidoux !!! check the web page up... but french lol !!! ill see if i found some in english!!

This is the JPP 2, he made a JPP 1, you can see it in the official page


Awesome find TT!!!! :twisted:

numerouno 05-30-2005 05:55 AM

ups !!! that is !!

TT 05-30-2005 06:58 AM

Ok basically it exists a single JPP2 :D so it's the rarest car I ever saw :D

I will do some more translation in a while! Thank you dude!

They say it is based on a sportcar he crashed, and although the original, idea was a Mercedes V12 (the car is inspired by the Sauber Mercedes C9 BTW), he decided to dump it and went on with the original engine (but no info on the base car or engine)

Dropped them an email to know the base car and engine :D just out of curiosity

sikx5 05-30-2005 12:05 PM

Wow great work researching there bultaco_metralla. Good stuff!!!

Indeed that is one rare machine, and one wealthy person to build it. :shock:

jon_s 05-30-2005 12:31 PM

No car too rare or obscure for the JW team to hunt down!!

Good spot and find! 8)

TT 05-30-2005 02:29 PM

For the records BTW, I spotted it while trying to catch up with an Exige Mk II looking for a free parking place! I stopped hoping to find the Exige again but nope, I lost the Lotus, but probably it was worth. Exiges aren't that common, but still easier to find :D

Pokiou 05-31-2005 05:22 AM

i think thats the new SMART car roadster .... im not to sure dont hold me to it but ill see if i can find anything :)
