It´s a colani conversion of the legendary G-Klasse Mercedes.

Here´s a pic of its front:

I like the way the Mercedes star hasn't been put on straight. Looks home-made.

This was very far from being Count Colani's finest hour...

To be honest, I´m still not sure if you can trust the internet in this case.

I was wondering if it can be a real Colani from the first second I´ve seen it.
There were some Colani Kits for cars like the Ford Ka or a conversion of the Opel Speedster.

But they are definitely looking better!

The internet is not always to be trusted, I agree, but this seems to be a genuine Colani - and I'm not surprised given the wayward design of some of his creations.

The red car pictured below is the first of two G-Wagens modified by Colani in about 1981, the second being the blue one above.
