What's the make and model designation of this car? If you know, you get a point!

Octavia · June 27, 2009, 12:17:31 PM

MG EXE

Quiller · June 28, 2009, 08:29:12 AM

Not an MG ...

Ford?

No Ford connection that I'm aware of ...

Given there is no Ford connection... I'm going to rule out Mazda as well and say Nisson 240SX.

To be honest I'm not sure what the basis is - I'll have to do some research and get back to you

Quiller · July 21, 2009, 12:35:14 PM

DO U KNOW?

Joao Gois · July 22, 2009, 09:17:00 AM

Seems japanese...

Quiller · July 22, 2009, 12:39:11 PM

Not from Japan ...

Joao Gois · July 22, 2009, 07:50:04 PM

You're right: those wheels are AMG wheels... so related to Mercedes, right?

Quiller · July 23, 2009, 12:38:11 PM

My guess is that it is based on a Mercedes but I don't know for sure

Joao Gois · July 26, 2009, 08:35:25 AM

Then not a Mercedes concept car?

Not an official Mercedes project, no

Xenon, 1988. Made by students. Probably based on Porsche technic, because a comment on one of the pictures I have is 'Studenten Porsche' .

Kind regards,

It is indeed the Xenon! Do you know which school the students who made it attended? Locked for you for 48 hours

spider murphy · July 31, 2009, 01:29:33 PM

Pforzheim University

Kind regards,

Exactly!

There's an internet source which says this car would be a John Kelly design. Anyone who knows more? It's in this book http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=8916.0, but I'm miles away from home...

It was a student project at the Fachhochschule für Gestaltung Pforzheim. The Design students responsible for this car were Frank Pfisterer, Michael Plessing, Frank Spörle, Ingo Feuerherdt and Frieder Lang. They were tutored by Prof. Joseph Gallitzendörfer, Prof. E. Prahst and Dipl.-Ing. J. Tomforde. No participation of James Kelly mentioned.
