what car is this?

[bone]

this car popped up in the carbage thread and in the random thoughts thread, but nobody seems to be able to identify it

so a thread dedicated to it

WHAT CAR IS THIS???????

 

[SchumacherM]

Some kinda trick Mercedes, I think...

 

[Eye-Q]

According to the comments in the original article it's a Nissan Cedric Y33.

wikimedia Commons has a picture from the back, too, so it's pretty clear that it is a Cedric indeed.

How the hell is that legal!?

There's also a sporty turbo version called the Gloria Gran Turismo

 

[GRtak]

We don't care WTF it was. It is now shit.

"Hey, you know how the total surface area of tyre touching the road is less than a sheet of A4 paper? Know what would be really cool?

If we utterly ruined handling and braking by reducing that by over half!"

 

[LeVeL]

hella flush yo

 

[MadCat360]

Hella stupid.

I want to punch that driver in the head. Just because I know I won't do any brain damage - there's nothing in it.

 

[Ilpav]

Why does it look almost exactly like a mid-90's Mercedes E-Class?

 

[PaperBiro]

That is seriously the most comical looking thing I have ever seen! It looks like the chassis has collapsed under the weight of the bodywork. It's hard to believe that thing is even drivable...

 

[bartboy9891]

Haha that's awesome. Are those tires designed to ride on their sidewalls like that?

Here's a nice example of VIP

 

[Matt2000]

I don't understand why the Japanese market needs so many similar variations on the standard beige 4-door saloon. Aside from that, modifying a car like that should be punishable by torture, or something.

I love those car names though. I mean, Cedric and Gloria? This is what I think of when I hear those names.

Cedric:

Gloria:

 

[DanRoM]

Please tell me someone photoshopped those pictures (of the car, I mean).

Not until this last week.

And now my goal in life is to go to Japan and kick this 'person' in the nads, so there's no chance of them adding to the gene pool.

Yeah, they've been doing this stuff over there since at least the late '70s. Along with the Bosozoku stuff.
