It's a proposal for a well-known maker, but not particularly known for luxury cars.

That's the Lotus 2000 proposal from 1981.
Lotus should have produced it, it looks awesome, like all Paolo Martin designs.
He was a very important designer, but had a short career in the car industry.
What a shame.

Yes, I agree.
It is called the 2000 on one website, but that's not really it's name (Lotuses road cars all had names rather than numbers).
Still locked for you to find its correct name; you're just one year out with the date too.

Exactly!
I will actually still give Limo a point (as he got the designer, Paolo Martin, right) as well as Lofotleif.
