Is it the Tom Tjaarda design proposal for Bulgari?
Title: Re: Allemano's № 668
Post by: Allemano on September 09, 2011, 02:32:29 AM
As far as I know Tjaarda didn't play a role in this project.

OK.  This is the car that was designed and developed by Lotus in 1989-91. 

I'm struggling to recall the exact proposed name of the Bulgari car that was brain child/dream of Gianni Bulgari and got built to prototyoe-only stage in 1990 (called GB1 from memory, with a nice winged GB badge on the front hood/bonnet), and the project wa briefly known as 'Enigma.' 

The car had an unusual patented seating system (patent number B60N1/00) with three sets in the front in a V-formation and a central steering wheel, plus two conventional folding seats at the rear.  Is this enough, or do you still need more?

Yes that's indeed enough for a point! According to my source it was equipped with an Opel 16V engine.

Here's the whole article:

Digging in my HD I've found this:  Proyecto Bulgari-Lotus (1990) design Emanuele Nicosia

I assume this is the same car as the other solved puzzle called Bvlgari?

As far as I know Nicosia did the design for the red car only.
