The windows do look the same.

The car? If it was miniaturized, it would make a cool hotwheel.

It is a real car that they are making. Comes with a W12.

Linkie

They have some other pretty nice cars, too.

I think that car would look amazing if they brought the front and rear "faces" down like 8 inches. If they made the body panels such that the front grill sat maybe 6 inches off the ground, and the center of the rear end was lik 8 inches of the ground, the car would be aggressive looking.

But yes, those windows MUST have been based of an SVX... no other "window in a window" car looks quite that similar to ours.

It appears to have 4 doors, a sedan rather than a coupe. Peking to Paris rally car? Good ground clearance. At first glance you can see the influence of several cars, nothing original about it. It is, however, unique in its design and execution. Somebody has lots of nerve to produce such a car.

Boy. Looking at that convertable is food for thought. Wonder if you could take an SVX to one of those chop top places in California for a conversion?

The windows in the first picture look very similar to the SVX.

TOO MUCH GRILL!!!! Looks like a torpedo bay on a submarine or a large mouth bass.

Maybe the windows of their new car is based on our SVX. But you could also say that the SVX is based on a Spyker:

The 1902 Spyker was the first car with 6 cylinders and the first car with full time 4WD.

http://www.4wdonline.com/ClassicCars/Spyker.html

It was considered ahead of its time and was not a commercial success.

Mad scientist are gene splicing again. This time it's a cross between a Aston Martin, SVX and an outback.

I am still in debate over the single window design on this SVX.
