Solved: Djetset #541 - FIRE'S 320 GT
« on: August 18, 2011, 05:02:30 PM »
Straight to the Experts as the Rookies arena is currently quite crowded.

Sorry for the poor-quality image.  I don't know very much about this one, so if you can prove to me what it is, a minimum of a point might be yours.

Looks like a "home built" Porsche 906 look alike.

From the wheel design, how about Citroen based?

Pics courtesy of the car's designer (originally published on his personal site). Hope he wouldn't be against such a humble 'popularisation'.

From what I could understand in French, the project has started in 1969. The frame was self-designed, Renault 8 engine was put behind the driver within a wheelbase. Own designed body (well, that was obvious, I know :) ) with Panhard 24CT windscreen. Renault 16 radiator was used.

Wow Faksta, that's more information than I had on the car.  A well deserved point to you.
