1958 Hongqi CA72 and the UOP Shadow race car.

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

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...

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.

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.
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.

-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

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...

... 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).

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)

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
Opinionated but sometimes wrong

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"

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.
