Perfect, and very nice car...
Opel G90 and the Pininfarina Rossa both cars won the same award
Pininfarina Rossa and what car? Why?

DynaMike · July 19, 2009, 05:34:25 AM

2000 Pininfarina Rossa and 1958 Hongqi CA72 Luxury Car Both cars have the colour Red in their name (rossa = red, hongqi = red flag)

2000 Pininfarina Rossa and 1958 Hongqi CA72 Luxury Car both cars have a name containing the name of the same colour
1958 Hongqi CA72 Luxury Car and what car? why?

Otto Puzzell · July 19, 2009, 08:09:38 AM

1958 Hongqi CA72 and the UOP Shadow race car.

Each shares its name designation with a motorcycle made by Honda.

Paul Jaray · July 23, 2009, 08:54:38 AM

1958 Hongqi CA72 and the UOP Shadow race car both cars are named after motorcycles made by another manufacturer
UOP Shadow and what car? why?

UOP Shadow and what car? why?

DynaMike · July 30, 2009, 05:58:04 PM

Is this still valid:

UOP Shadow and 1937 Peugeot 402 Eclipse Both cars have a name that means in some way a lack of light...

I have no sound on my computer... but this was very thin ice, wasn't it? I guess that's a result of the global warming...

Paul Jaray · July 30, 2009, 06:32:08 PM

But you're keeping this chain going...so it's OK!

1937 Peugeot 402 Eclipse and the Ford Model T

Each is commonly - and incorrectly - referred to as the first of its kind. Peugeot's retractable hardtop, "invented" by Georges Paulin, was preceded by Ben Ellerbeck's design as affixed to the Hudson Six in 1922. While Ford Ford's model T production techniques radically improved mass-production techniques, it was not the first car built on an assembly line. Ransom Eli Olds introduced assembly line production in 1902.

I like this...

Djetset · August 06, 2009, 06:13:41 PM

Let's see if this one works?

The Ford Model T and Saab 99 Turbo.

Both cars are famously (but incorrectly) known for only being available in one colour; black.

The Ford was offered in a wide range of colours (although most were black), and at launch the Saab 99 Turbo Combi Coupe could be ordered in metallic green or burgandy, as well as black (with black being by far the most popular colour choice). Later two-door 99 Turbo models could also be had in white and red, as well as black.

Paul Jaray · August 06, 2009, 06:51:12 PM

-Both cars: are one-off,
are the high-output version of a standard model
are limited production based on production cars
are standard production models named after the body manufacturer
are concept cars\prototype used by books\movies\... characters
are coachbuilt specials based on a popular production car from a different continent
are factory-built 2-door pillarless coupes based on the regular 4-door sedan/saloon model
are woodies
are in the same collection\museum\event
are missing of a part
are the product of three countries
have one exceptional technical spec
have one identical dimension
have only one official colour scheme

Djetset · August 06, 2009, 08:08:04 PM

I wasn't sure that one worked, which is why I didn't attach an image of the Saab. So, back to the Ford Model T and...

Djetset · August 07, 2009, 02:41:34 AM

... Ford Model T and Austin 7.

Versions of both of these 'peoples' cars were produced in the same countries; the USA, Great Britain, France and Germany.

The Ford was built in many overseas plants, including Manchester (UK) and Cologne (Germany). For the Austin this was made as the Bantam (USA), Austin (UK), Rosengart (France) and Dixi BMW (Germany).

Paul Jaray · August 16, 2009, 06:21:53 AM

It seems that we have a winner....or not?
The Ford Model T and Austin 7 both cars were produced in the same countries; (USA, Great Britain, France and Germany)
Austin 7 and what car? why?

(We already had this..'both cars were produced under licence from other manufacturers in the same different country' but I think this is slightly different)

Allan L · August 16, 2009, 08:51:55 AM

Am I allowed to suggest that the Austin Seven and the Dixi 3/15 were actually mirror images of each other?
The Dixi not only had left-hand-drive but the engine was mirrored left-to-right as were the pedal mechanisms, etc

Paul Jaray · August 16, 2009, 08:58:00 AM

This one sounds like a great new conncetion, Allan.
Austin Seven and Dixi 3/15 one car was the mirror image of the other

Otto Puzzell · August 17, 2009, 05:47:09 AM

DIXI 3/15 and the Volvo ÖV 4

The maker of each car - each of which was a the car-building arm of a company with a three-letter name - chose to name their cars with a Latin first-person statement.

BMW's DIXI = "I have spoken"

SKF's Volvo = "I roll"

Paul Jaray · August 17, 2009, 05:50:18 AM

Another good one!

Paul Jaray · August 31, 2009, 03:26:53 PM

Anybody?
It seems that this chain is over...
Volvo ÖV 4 and what car? why?
I know there are still some easy connections left...

75america · August 31, 2009, 03:47:23 PM

I don't know if we already had this one but:
Volvo ÖV 4 and Caresto Hot Rod Volvo Jacob. The second one is a hot rod tribute to the first one.

Paul Jaray · August 31, 2009, 03:50:06 PM

Cool!
and here we go again!
Caresto Hot Rod Volvo Jacob and what car? why?

Otto Puzzell · August 31, 2009, 04:13:13 PM

Caresto Hot Rod Volvo Jakob and Lincoln MKR Concept

Both feature hand-cut tires featuring the carmaker's logo.
