Wow, the eighties are back - a digital dash!

I'll have one in black please  ;D

i suspect the ice section would have been a bit busier if it had gone into production, sort that lot out.

You can see where the idea came from for the Sigma rear seat partition option.

I assumed the digital dash display was an lcd screen for the night vision, as that merc. on top gear, but then i sore an artists impression with the image projected onto the lower section of the windscreen iirc.

And the v8 is only 2 valves per cylinder. Boo...

What a fantastic car!! 8-) 8-) :-* :-* :-* :-* ;)

If built and marketed they would have sold a lot of them!! :D :D :D

The only drawback I can see is that it only seats 3 passengers. :(  But that would have been a small price to pay.

Anyone got a car factory and the blueprints for this miggy.......eh, oh yes and a few million £'s?? :-? :-? :D :D ;)

Lovely lovely car, not sure about the head rests though, imagine the view in your rear view mirror, when that comes up behind you, its Mr and Mrs Shreck.  :o ;D

That diy V8 shows how GM manage to ruin even an Omega when they try and flog a car to their own country men.  That centre console is fugly compared to the Euro cars.

I dare say it is perhaps it is the more american style dashboard pull lever
