[ChanceHuncha]

Hey Guys! Here is probably the hardest puzzle i’ll ever post. This here is a concept car with literally no information. I hope that some sort of info pulls up for this thing. And whoever finds a full name for this car, I will award two points.

Good luck to you guys and dont get lost!

”It was 9:56 AM when little Tommy found his low and sleek Hot Wheels car that was hidden under the couch for 3 years. Authorities say that it was a miracle for the car to be found, Tommy had finally stopped crying after a whole 3 Years...”

Here is probably the hardest puzzle i’ll ever post. This here is a concept car with literally no information.

I suspect this is not a concept car, but manipulated image created for product packaging/advertising. It is common practice for purveyors of automobile-related products and services (tires, car care products, lubricants, car insurance, extended warranties, etc.) to create images of generic cars that cannot be identified as belonging to any particular manufacturer. This is typically achieved by digitally combining elements from multiple cars and may also involve stretching, skewing or otherwise modifying those elements. The "car" in your image looks to me like one of these digital amalgams.

Well, that didn't take long. I found multiple stock images of this car available for commercial use and labeled as "modern red sports car" and "red sports car on a racetrack." The images are offered by a digital artist using the name "Mevans," who describes the car as follows:

"Moden sports car. Unique and generic sports car design. Designed and modelled entirely by myself. Very high resolution 3D render. All markings are ficticious."

Some examples:

Everything you’ve said sounds about right! This car is a design that was made for stock imaging and sold to certain companies for use. The most common use for this car in marketing would be for Samsung TV’s. Fun Fact, I actually took the puzzle photo myself in my local Best Buy store for guess what? A Samsung TV ad.

I’ll award you 1 point for finding 99.9% of the info on this car, But I will still leave this post up for 1 extra week in the pros to see if anyone can find a name of some sort. I will award anyone who can come up with a name with 1 extra point. If nothing is found, or if im proven otherwise that there is no name, i’ll move it to solved.

Good luck again!

Well it’s been more than a week and no other info has popped up. So i’ll move this one to solved and for a sake of a better name, i’ll call it the “Mevans GT-S.” Because i’d hate to call it “Modern Red Sports Car!”

Have you posted puzzle without knowing real name of the car? If so, it has be clarified at the beginning, I suppose, otherwise it is very misleading and inventing names is not the best practice.

[el_monty]

I would call it GT-S by Mevans. The car's model name as shown on the plate (It probably doesn't have any other), and the online name of its creator, which is all we know about him/her. Chance did warn at the beginning that he had "no information" and that he hoped that someone could pull up something, implying he had been unable to. But I agree with Arunas that transforming the designer's nickname into an impromptu marque is a bit of a stretch.

[ChanceHuncha]

You’re right. “GT-S by Mevans” is better to use as to not confuse people. Mevans GT-S sounded more satisfactory in my head. I’ll change it so it isn’t confusing. Thanks for bringing it up or else I wouldv’ve never known!

[Arunas]

That's why I don't post all those nameless fantasy cars and renderings of nameless designers...
