Topic: SOLVED: WTH # 075 - 1989 Dodge Daytona Decepzione with Lamborghini V8 and AWD

For one point, give the year, make, model, and nickname of this car.

I don't think they exist, but I'll give another point if you post a color picture of the car.

Up!  Time for the experts to give it a try

[Delorean]

Looks like a 1987 Dodge (or Chrysler) Daytona ...

[sixtee5cuda]

It is a slightly newer Dodge Daytona.  But this is a special one.

Locked for Delorean for 24 hours, to find the nickname of this car.

Ready and waiting for the lock to come off ...

[Delorean]

No need to wait ...

This it a Dodge Daytona Decepzione, a one-off built in 1989 and developed together with Lamborghini. The car was powered by the 3.5 litre V8 from the Lamborghini Jalpa. It never reached production ...

Another point to Delorean for the correct answer.

The one part you left out, besides having a 3.5 litre Jalpa V8 under the hood, it was AWD.

Here is a picture of the engine in the Decepzione.  Stitched together from two images in a B&W PDF of the original magazine article.

(it appears the magazine scan left out an inch or 3 of width)

Here they are.
