A Citroën transformer?

DHoffmann · « **Reply #2 on:** August 29, 2008, 09:59:28 PM »

Yamaha OX 99-11.

EDIT: Oh hang on, gullwing doors threw me off.

Vemac RD350/RD408H

EDIT 2: Ah nuts, it's not that either. I'm stumped.

@re · « **Reply #3 on:** August 30, 2008, 05:24:49 AM »

You're right, it isn't! No relation to Citroën, either.

The two later guesses are closer than the first one, though.

Ray B. · « **Reply #4 on:** August 30, 2008, 10:00:19 AM »

My guess was purely a joke, hardly understandable outside of France.

@re · « **Reply #5 on:** August 30, 2008, 03:22:46 PM »

Oh, we've seen the commercials! They sell C4's here too, you know

Ray B. · « **Reply #6 on:** August 31, 2008, 05:02:40 AM »

I suppose so, but advertisers seldom use the same ads in different countries, and I wasn't sure if those had been shown elsewhere.

Allan L · « **Reply #7 on:** August 31, 2008, 05:17:16 AM »

They show that Citroen ad here too.
Someone also made a 2CV version of it, but I'm not sure where to find it now!

That must be the one, but I think I remember it in higher resolution.

sard?

@re · « **Reply #11 on:** September 02, 2008, 05:13:55 AM »

Nice try! But no.

DHoffmann · « **Reply #12 on:** September 09, 2008, 02:05:39 AM »

Found it! It's a... Mazda...

Made in 1996, at least 2 made. Side says re- something, searched for about an hour but can't find anything...

DHoffmann · « **Reply #13 on:** September 09, 2008, 11:55:43 AM »

Found it conclusively, it's the Greddy 6.

@re · « **Reply #14 on:** September 11, 2008, 11:58:22 AM »

Well, you've found more pictures of it than I was able to

I don't think this is officially a Mazda, but it could have been built by a supplier as a PR exercise. It's called both the GReddy-6 and the RE-Amemiya. You have earned your point!

Yeah sorry, my previous post was meant to show that it wasn't a Mazda. From the research I had to do for this one I think that the car contains a 3 rotor wankel engine fettled by RE-Amemiya, which is where their involvement comes in, but the car itself is from GReddy, and slots in their line of specials, although this one seems a bit more special than most.

Also, pictures don't seem to be a problem whatsoever, there's tonnes out there, information is the stuff that's lacking. (As far as I've seen that is, some could be hidden in Japanese somewhere but I can't QUITE read the stuff.

)

@re · « **Reply #16 on:** September 11, 2008, 08:42:37 PM »

Yeah, you're probably right about the engine/body, so the proper name for this seems to be the GReddy-6.

Quiller · « **Reply #17 on:** October 15, 2008, 06:18:57 PM »

What's the make and model of this car?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #18 on:** October 16, 2008, 05:02:27 AM »

Merged

@re · « **Reply #19 on:** October 16, 2008, 06:30:14 AM »

Yeah, I thought it looked familiar

dalla · « **Reply #20 on:** October 16, 2008, 08:55:16 AM »

Here is some more pics of it. As far as i am aware, it is based on the Mazda AZ-1

Quiller · « **Reply #21 on:** October 16, 2008, 09:04:31 AM »

My info says it's based on the Autozam AZ-1... but has a Mazda rotary engine

@re · « **Reply #22 on:** October 16, 2008, 06:59:18 PM »

Well, as the Autozam AZ-1 and the Mazda AZ-1 is the same car, that figures

it was the rotary engine I was pointing to as the unusual feature. But just to be anal, the AZ-1 was always badged Autozam (unless it was a Suzuki Cara. Or a Mazdaspeed. Or an M2) but never Mazda!
