Zoom-Out Puzzle #4 - Vector W8
« on: July 05, 2012, 04:18:56 AM »
This puzzle starts in the Pro section with a very zoomed-in look at a car.  If, in a week, no one identifies the car, I will zoom out with a new photo and move the thread to the Expert section.  If, after another weekish, no one gets it right, I will post another photo, further "Zoomed Out" and I will move it to the Rookie section.

Name that car!

Have you changed the orientation of the photo? I see what looks like an exhaust pipe outlet but it doesn't seem right orientated the way it is.

My experience on your puzzles tells me that it's not an aerodynamic device at all.. Am I right?

I believe it may, among other functions, manage airflow.

Is it a front brake cooling duct from something else?

I recognise the side window now : this is a detail from a side mirror of a Vector W8 ... Nice one!
