Top-secret BMW X9 crossover spied testing without camo. | « » 8:44 PM 7-9-2008 | |
|
Spotted this today on the way back from the doctor's office:
Looks kinda cool from the front, but then... 
Oh god - my eyes, the pain! 
And that power bulge in the hood? A bas-relief nude goddess type figure with outstretched wings of flame. 
I noticed that it appears to have a second-gen Mitsubishi Eclipse liftback resting on the rear, waiting to be molded in to the rest of the structure, and I can't put my finger on where he got the front cab. Any other guesses on the provenance of parts?

The front appears to be a C3 Corvette. Of course I could just be having a brain anuerysm.

Let's see. Honda Prelude seats. Corvette front fenders. 1st gen DSM front turn signals. Camaro mirrors. Let's see what other donor we can dig out of this gem. What's the platform, anyway?

I'm guessing it's based on a full-size truck, because that bitch is LONG! You can see in the pictures that it's almost one and a half times longer than that 4-door blazer parked next to it. It also appears to have a second windshield (or maybe it's the rear glass off of a minivan) grafted to the top to make a panoramic glass roof. Can anyone recognize the door glass curvature?
