It's really hard now to browse through already used connections, but let's try this one.

2007 Lincoln MKR & 2002 Ford Thunderbird - the latter was built on a Ford DEW platform, which has later become a basis for Ford D2C platform, used for an MKR. So, the connection is:

One car is built upon the platform which has become a basis for another car's platform.

All right then:

Both cars were made by (separate) companies owned by Bill Last (Suffolk TVR dealer who made the Trident marque but who also bought Peel Engineering and made the Peel Trident in Cambridgeshire somewhere!)

75america is right.
You should post a connection between '2009 Hamann BMW X6 Tycoon' and another car, and it can't be 'Trident Tycoon' for the name, because we already had the 'both cars have the same model's name'    connection.
So, who will be next?
2009 Hamann BMW X6 Tycoon   and    what car?     why?

No need to read 22 pages, just the top of this  ;).
You can find another connection between a '2009 Hamann BMW X6 Tycoon' and any other car, or you can just pass.

Lancia Delta HF Integrale and Lancia Fulvia - both cars won the San Remo Rally.

I believe "racing cars winning races" as a connection has not been used previously.
