Alfa Romeo 4 rear Door? lol But seriously.. it does have 4 rear doors!
Not an Alfa
Whatever it is, it must have the widest shutlines since the WW2 tanks!
Yeah. And it's obviously not finished, it looks like it's a body that's just resting on top of the wheels. American?
From the Indianapolis Auto Show? The posters in the background make me wonder...
Dan
It could be - but I can't swear to it.
Chinese?
It is obviously just a mock-up model, the all black windows tells me there's no interior, and probably no engine either.
So it may be a student project?
I'm sorry I missed that earlier question. Yes, it's American.
US-american?
Yep.
The rear lines scream Chrysler Concorde. Was that the starting base for this car?
I don't believe so...
Is there some Pontiac involvement?
Dan
Nope.
This was diesigned and built by an independent designer as an example of his vision and abilities.
...or lack thereof. ;D
OK - time for the heavy hitters...
Perhaps one of our newcomers, with a taste for one-off's and concepts, can put a name to this one.

Yes! This is my first Professional puzzle I solve..
This car is Automotive Composites / VS Composites Paradigm. www.automotivecomposites.com
The information I have: "Michael Van Steenburg established this design company in Texas. In addition to sketching concepts he occassionally showcases complete prototypes.
One of them is the Baja, a two-door sport utility vehicle introduced in 1998, the second is the Paradigm limousine supposed to be produced in China. Both of these cars are totally made out of plastics: FRP composite chassis made of pultruded fiberglass/vinyl ester epoxy frame members and a body formed from vacuum thermoformed (non-reinforced) thermoplastic body panels."
The car was exhibited as the Perkins Paradigm Prototype.
The points are yours. :)
