You can fit so much beige in this baby.
Alternate Universe where this is the Back to the Future time machine
Murty! You've got to reach FIFTY FIVE MILES PER HOUR! That will maximize your fuel efficiency, because then you need to cruise for an hour to charge up the flux capacitor and warm up the federation warp coils. I'm going to go convert a Lambo into a time machine or something, I'll meet you back here 1937!
I love retro-futurism. This is peak humanity. Analog controls in a vehicle designed for visiting the stars.
I think CDPR upscaled this design for Cyberpunk 2077
Yeah, I had one of those back in the day.
Slightly bigger wheels and this would be spot on.
It's amazing how much smaller wheels used to be, Ferrari 328s from this era came with 16" rims now even my hatchback comes with 20" as standard and 21s as optional.
I have to be honest and say I greatly prefer the ride of smaller rims.
Anything more than 17s costs me thousands in punctures from potholes...
It might even just be the proportion of it, looking at the 328s, they have big arches even with the smaller rims whereas they're quite tight here. Thinking about it, lots of classics look great on minilites with big fat tires too.
It has not one, but two silhouettes of itself on the dashboard. You could almost take the thing into combat with the Klingons.
That thing is hideous. I want it.
looks like the sweet love child of an amc pacer and a delorean.
What do all the gauges on the right side even do?
Think that's all eq and music controls
I'd kill for that. I hate getting ready to drive on a sunny day, and I can't change the eq because I can't see the stereo interface.
Where have all the cool digital dashboards gone? Had an 80s supra when I was young, still loving it & I wish I haven't sold it. What a crazy futuristic car. In the night on the Autobahn, full throttle, loud music - good ol' times.
Look at all that visibility! Sweet! Based on modern car design, I assume this has a terrible crash test rating and no side airbags.
KITT? Is that you in disguise?
Now I want an LCARS dashboard
Was this car the inspiration for the simpsons episode where home designed a car? (And ruined his brother's company)
I personally find Bubble Top cars more similar to The Homer.
Instead we just ended up with the Silhouette minivan
