Wild guess: Styling exercise for Ford by Ghia circa late-1980s?

Not at all I'm afraid, though you are close-ish with the date!

U.S. manufacturer or brand?

Carnut · « **Reply #6 on:** January 20, 2021, 05:22:18 PM »

I don't think a car was ever actually made, but I believe there is a US involvement.

To add a bit more..
As a concept only it did have a particular significance! What's particular about it?

European design?

Carnut · « **Reply #9 on:** January 29, 2021, 11:10:54 AM »

I can't tell where it was done.
Probably in the US but possibly in the UK or even in Germany or France!

Was this concept created by an automobile manufacturer?

Carnut · « **Reply #11 on:** February 13, 2021, 05:30:29 PM »

No, more to demonstrate their abilities for manufacturers.

Was it by Computervision or some other producer of computer aided design software?

Carnut · « **Reply #13 on:** February 14, 2021, 06:06:06 AM »

Yes it was, but not Computervision.
I'll lock it for you to see if you can track down who did it.

From 1991?

Carnut · « **Reply #17 on:** February 15, 2021, 11:13:52 AM »

Yes, I think that's about right; or maybe 1992.

SDRC?

Carnut · « **Reply #19 on:** February 16, 2021, 09:44:16 AM »

What does that stand for, as it's very close with the same letters but not in a different order!

gte4289 · « **Reply #20 on:** February 16, 2021, 10:45:15 AM »

Structural Dynamics Research Corporation

Carnut · « **Reply #21 on:** February 16, 2021, 10:56:03 AM »

Unofrtunately none of those words feature in the answer I'm looking for!
But as I said, the letters, mainly in a different order, are correct...

gte4289 · « **Reply #22 on:** February 16, 2021, 11:11:59 AM »

CDRS?

Carnut · « **Reply #23 on:** February 16, 2021, 02:46:39 PM »

That's right, CDRS it is.
Now, what does that stand for, whose baby was it and what did they call it?
Still locked for you of course.
