Does this look sort of like a 300ZX?
While searching around for pictures while pondering what other rally car can be best suited for Lord Vador I stumbled accross this car which I think is a concept car. There seems to be not much other information about it. Also the reason why I say sort of is because it seems to have a little bit of Dodge Stealth and even some 2nd gen MR2 in it. Strange though considering this car from what little info I gathered is from 1991, and even though the 300zx is from 1989 one can wonder how far back the design specs went considering the project for the Subaru SVX started in 1984 if I recall. Does anyone have more info on the Audi Quattro Spider? Last edited by Weebitob; 08-16-2005 at 06:30 AM. |

Yeah it does resemble a 300ZX but i'd have to see the back of that car to make a better judgement.

Talk about no head room. I would have to keep the sunroof open even in the rain if I were driving the car..

After some time searching I finally found a back pic. I guess I was somewhat right about having some MR2 in it. But its pretty much up to you to make the call.
And here is the complimentary front pic as well as a small collage that includes some interior shots. |

I think an Australian reviewer said it best when he called the 4th generation Fairlady Z or 300zx is the bastard child from a relationship with a Porsche that went out with a Ferrari which gone wrong.
But you can also see some of the 300ZX cues when you look at the windows and sides contors. But you are right about the back, front and ecspecially the color looks Lotus. |

Just take a look at these two pictures and tell me how you are not seeing it.
Aside from the window on the Quattro Spider being slanted inward and having a bit more backspace the shape has some major simalarities. Just take a look at how the black lining between the front and back part of the window. Last edited by Weebitob; 08-17-2005 at 01:23 AM. |

I found this short blurb on the Spyder (not spIder):
http://www.audi.co.za/vorsprung/concept/spyder.php 2.8 liter V6, mid engine, rwd, 174hp. They're light and handle well, but aren't exactly the fastest things in the world. I still think they're cool as hell, but I'd rather have one of these! 1991 Audi Avus: 2003 Audi Nuvolari Quattro: 2003 Audi LeMans Quattro: 2003 Audi Rosemeyer:
