#2 is the Bricklin SV-1. SV did not stand for Sport Veloce, but for Safety Vehicle. LOL. Apparantly the car didn't have an ashtray either, because smoking is dangerous as well. Do I need to explain to anyone why this car was not commercially succesful and the company went belly up?

I have seen #3 before, but I can't think of what it is! This is so frustrating!!!!!

The last one is a Maserati, I think, from what I see on the bonnet. Never seen it though.

1997 Gigliato Aerosa 8)


Gigliato Design Company was created by Japanese designer Nobuo Nakamura. Gigliato Design, in collaboration with Lamborghini, teamed up to build an exotic car. The result was the Aerosa, first shown to the public at the 1997 Geneva Auto Show. Plans for creation began in 1995 with an agreement being signed that stated Lamborghini would engineer, develop, and built the automobile. The Gigliato Design Company was instrumental in the design and would later act as the primary importer of the Aerosa into Japan.
In a perfect world, orders were to be taken beginning in 1998 with delivery starting in 1999. At a price of around $65,000, this exotic sports car was relatively affordable. The engine was pure Detroit taken from the Ford Mustang. The 4.8-liter Ford V8 was expected to carry the vehicle to sixty mph in less than five seconds. This would have put it on par with Ferrari and Porsche, at least some of the models such as the 355.

The Gigliato Design Aerosa remains just a prototype.
Idd ! how did you know ? so this topic is solved

I knew I had seen it somewhere, however, no matter how deep I would have dug in my memory, I doubt I would have come up with the name. Didn't ring a bell at all...
