Colani's ?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #3 on:** March 05, 2009, 09:12:22 AM »

I see your point, but no, not Colani's...

Arunas · « **Reply #4 on:** March 05, 2009, 09:13:33 AM »

Seen it somewhere I think. One-off?

Probably - Yes.

I've found it labeled as ARC - Atelier Recherce Creation.

That's impressive, you have 48hours to find the model...

I'm not good in French, but is ARC de la Coupe de l'Avenir the name?

ImpishGrin · « **Reply #9 on:** March 07, 2009, 07:20:58 AM »

Well, "de la coupe de l'avenir" means "of the coupe of the future" so it may be only a generic name, but maybe they called it so.

Usually I do not wait to much when a car has been found, but this one has a model name. The point is yours till tomorrow. After that, another point will be available...

1965-1971 ARC Narval concept car with Gordini 1300 engine.

Coupe de l'Avenir was a racing series in France from 1976 to 1990 for which ARC has also built cars

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #12 on:** March 07, 2009, 08:10:47 AM »

That's a reply!
My source also reported an Arc 2000 SJ8 name for this car, the only street-legal version. Well done!
If anyone has more info on these concept or road cars, please share!

French only

Quote

Concept car - Motorisation Gordini 1300, préparation Mignoté usine
Projet - Etudes morphologique et technique - Réalisation Michel Faure

Alors âgé de 16 ans, Michel Faure, lycéen, très influencé par l’école du Bauhaus, trace les premières lignes de la Narval, avec pour seule motivation : la construire et la voir rouler.
Un désir intense, neuf, une esthétique de pureté, d’exactitude, de rapports commotionnants, allaient exciter les rouages mathématiques de son esprit : spectacle et cosmogonie.

A la différence des automobiles, qui cherchent à séduire par de vains arguments esthétiques, la Narval demeure sauvage, subversive. Tout dans son économie est tendue vers sa fin. Rien de superflu, pas de volonté de style, intemporelle, et, s’il vous plaît à son insu de lui trouver une qualité esthétique, c’est parce qu’au sein même de son socle, nous avons le sentiment qu’elle conserve une puissance concentrée.

Sur le circuit de Nogaro, le 23 Mai 1971, jour de la naissance de son fils Stephan, la Narval fait ses premiers tours de roue.

As I've not posted any puzzles for a little while, here is a new batch to keep you guessing. Please note that none of the following images have been taken from the internet, so little point in trying to match these via Google! Happy hunting.

So, for a point, please name the make and model.

Turns out that the first puzzle was a repost (thanks PJ, it was an electric Titan Elf) so here is a new image to ponder. Who created it, and what is it called for a point?

Allemano · « **Reply #19 on:** November 29, 2011, 03:13:29 AM »

I believe that was posted before as well, but long ago, so, I would suggest to leave it...

Djetset · « **Reply #20 on:** January 26, 2012, 05:23:03 PM »

On the move...

del78 · « **Reply #21 on:** January 27, 2012, 04:39:35 AM »

Colani?

Djetset · « **Reply #22 on:** January 27, 2012, 05:25:32 AM »

Not Colani (although it looks like it should be!).
