Wow! Looks likevthere is a singleseater chassis under the glassfibre body... Inboard suspension, adjustable swaybar, high tech alligment control and the single lugs. One of my favourites

I saw a standard one of these runnng up the Prescott Hillclimb course in the UK, I can only imagine how awesome this rotary powered one must be. I've had my eye on this for a while now: www.pistonheads.com/.../273574.htm

That is fucking awesome, end of story.

Pardon my eyesight, but is it turbo?

I can't imagine the power to weight ratio

anyone know of any nice rotary 930's? i think that would be a cool rotary swap also.

Actually, everytime I see it I think of a hearse, a very cool hearse :) Love the front canards too, I think it resembles the front mudguards of nostalgic rally cars.

I agree with everything my man Ilia pointed out, it's definitely a rare specimen. But I was wondering if there is an available photo with the bonnet secured. I'd simply like to see the complete look/feel of the car, with the large stands/wing and all. I'm sure it's outrageous!

Definitely wheels pulled from an old racer, though I don't know the era I can provide some more pictures I have

A very similar SSR from Jeff Krosnoff's Indy 500 car, once again don't have a date or pictures of them on the car, but I think the SSR manufacturing tag makes up for it :O

Thats Awsome! I always never liked how these looked, but this one changes my opinion, the fact that its rotary helps as well.

Really ugly car, but props to the owner for doing something out of the ordinary. I like it.

AUTONERD — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 05:45:14 GMT

at least he didnt steal my idea of an SR-powered europa :) I think this one would be better anyways.

and I second that El Camino thing. I think this is the later model though, the earlier ones had a step down in the back that made it look more like an El Camino. Nice aero on the car!

This thing is amazing. I love the rare wheels, the rotary swap, and the owner's complete disregard for convention.
