The Fisket Tramonoto and the Aston Martin AMV8 Vantage.

Both cars were designed by the same man, Henrik Fisker.

I'm afraid this one is not valid...find another connection that is not in the list above..

I'm not sure I understand why the Fisker/Aston Martin link is not vaid as my connection is not on the list.  However, if it isn't valid it isn't valid, so l then I propose the following;

Fisker Tramonto and Alpina B6 GT3.

Both cars are modified versions of the BMW 6-Series on which they are based.

 Fisker Tramonto 2005 and Ken Okuyama K.O. 7 sports.

Fisker Coachbuild designed a high end men’s watch for Danish company Rosendahl.

The K.O.7 was inspired by the TAG Heuer Grand Carrera watch, and has one mounted in its instrument panel.


Connection: the designer of the first car was retained to design a watch, because the watchmaker was inspired by Fisker's cars. The designer of the second car was 'inspired' by a watch, which he incorporated into his car.

Cy-Car TigerCat 3V2 and the Australian-built Hot Rod Hawg. THough both are powered by motorcycle engines, I'm pretty sure we've used that before. The connection is each is designed and built with no engine cover.

We used before a similar link,
AV Monocar 6\8 HP 1920        and         Tecno-Daf F3 1968                    both cars are missing of a part (lights)
But we never used 'both are powered by motorcycle engines' !

I'm pretty sure we used "similar suspension" before, too. But I'll gladly take the bike engine credit ;D
