No, it wasn't such a thing.
As I said in my Reply #17 the image was created for a specific purpose and had a name (which was nothing at all to do with what it really was or was based on!)

Was this car created for something like a computer game?

Not a computer game but something else not real.

No.
When I said it was for something else not real I meant something else ficticious.

To be honest I think it's so new it hasn't actually been published yet!
You would know the author though..

Just to enlarge a little.
The car was pictured, along with its name, by the author who was writing a book in which the hero was to drive this car.
He wanted to know what potential readers thought of it before finalising its inclusion.

But the site has long since disappeared, maybe because the book is now in the publication process, although I just checked and it doesn't appear anywhere yet.

So you're really going to struggle to find it, until the book comes out and you buy and read it!

It's his first-ever novel!  He's well known for his motoring literature, which is why I said in reply to Pal's post that he would know the author.

I thought that was a general comment for everyone - my bad.

It was; you don't have to apologise as I didn't aim it at Pal exclusively, just referring to his question.
You'll know the author as well!
As indeed I would think just about everyone on AP would..
