Zoom-Out Puzzle #4 - Vector W8

Otto Puzzell · July 05, 2012, 04:18:56 AM

This puzzle starts in the Pro section with a very zoomed-in look at a car. If, in a week, no one identifies the car, I will zoom out with a new photo and move the thread to the Expert section. If, after another weekish, no one gets it right, I will post another photo, further "Zoomed Out" and I will move it to the Rookie section.

Name that car!

Great idea for a puzzle!

Is this intake part of a front spoiler?

Otto Puzzell · July 07, 2012, 12:35:02 PM

I borrowed the idea from Ultra.

Not a front spoiler

Have you changed the orientation of the photo? I see what looks like an exhaust pipe outlet but it doesn't seem right orientated the way it is.

Otto Puzzell · July 08, 2012, 01:10:24 PM

No exhaust here.

Allemano · July 08, 2012, 01:35:18 PM

My experience on your puzzles tells me that it's not an aerodynamic device at all.. Am I right?

Otto Puzzell · July 08, 2012, 02:03:40 PM

I believe it may, among other functions, manage airflow.

Is it a front brake cooling duct from something else?

Otto Puzzell · July 08, 2012, 03:50:27 PM

Not for brake cooling

It looks like the sidescoop of a Phantom Vortex GTR to me.

But you didn't change the picture?

Otto Puzzell · July 16, 2012, 12:38:22 PM

I'll update soon.

Otto Puzzell · July 17, 2012, 04:48:27 AM

I expect this to last no more than a few minutes

I recognise the side window now : this is a detail from a side mirror of a Vector W8 ... Nice one!

Otto Puzzell · July 17, 2012, 06:03:06 AM

Heck - that took almost an hour!

I guess I won't need to post this one...
