GTC #50 SOLVED: Stile Bertone Younique (Ghost) BMW Solved by Allemano!
« on: September 20, 2008, 01:26:55 PM »
For my 50th puzzle, a rather beautiful vehicle.

1 point for the correct answer. A potential 1 extra point for extra information.

Good luck!

As far as I'm aware. And I do know what I believe to be the correct name, but not much else.

Hmm... Very interesting..
1) Is this car still available?
2) Is the manufacturer (You think has made this car) still active?
3) Is it a one-off?

Nice tactic going to other forums and seeing if anyone else knows it. there.  ;D

Yes I have more images, one of which I will share now, but remember that this is still a puzzle which I know the answer to. Not giving too much away.  ;)

Owner's the builder apparently...

It really is a beauty.

The most I can help you is that because the owner built it, and the owner lives in Switzerland, it's Swiss? I don't know the actual country of build though, this is just speculation.

This is all that I have on the car.

Maybe You know the builder of this car personally? It seems so :)

This one seems to be creating a kind of stir, perhaps a pro can put this one to rest quickly.

Looks like a cross between the new electric Lightning sports car and a Honda S2000 - but the Swiss plates don't quite fit into the equation anywhere...

Looks like a reworked Z8 BMW to me.

I'll just repeat this, as this is all the information I have regarding the build.
'According to him it is a unique, which is the owner alone has built. On the question of what basis it is the owner replied that no other car serves as a base.'

Basically, none of the 'based on' or 'looks like' guesses are right...

I'm suggesting the car likely is based on some bits from elsewhere, and likely much more than just some bits.

I was not proffering a guess as to it's moniker.

I'd say that a BMW Z8 with this car's rear would be almost perfect.
