Park a Porsche Boxster or 911 in a room, let Mr. Colani in, lock the door for a while and - voila...

[@re]

Could have been, yes!

There's no Porsche parts in this, though, and it's not Mr. Colani's work.

Believe it or not, this is a very obscure piece of work from the design division of one of the world's major automobile manufacturers. And I have only seen it mentioned once - so I'm almost willing to believe that it's something else than it's supposed to be, but until the opposite has been proved, I want the manufacturer and model designation that I've been told is correct.

I think Grob meant this as a joke, @re.

And I got it, Ray! Just felt like giving a clue.

Hm, let´s start from the very beginnings:

is it european?

[@re]

No!

[grobmotorix]

Japanese then?

[@re]

Yes!

Man, this is the Mazda 241 Concept Car...

Does anyone know when this one was released? The design looks very 1990´s, but my russian source claims it to be a 2007 product.

EDIT: The only thing I´ve found out is the fact that it seems to be the work of a pre 1999 graduate of the Royal College of Art in London.

Yes! I had it listed as the Mazda 241 of the 1990s, and that's about all I have been able to dig up.

The point is yours!
