The Unicorn sighting thread.

We shared an intersection yesterday.  It looked great and had V8 sounds

Is this a unicorn? I don't recall ever seeing the crew cab version. 

In reply to Slippery :

Must be a Buick with those three exhaust ports.

In reply to VolvoHeretic :

Definitely the sport version. 

I used to see a handful of those, always navy blue or yellow for some reason.

There are a few in my hometown. One's even a ZR2!

never have I ever! 1 of 23. I was just telling the kids about the silliness of vinyl tops when I saw the owner get out with a drawing of a convertible Mark VIII on his shirt. I asked him and he told me Lincoln made 23 of them back in the day 

In reply to P3PPY :

Lincoln had nothing to do with the convertible part of this. A company called Coach Builders modified them after they left the factory.

Makes sense. 

Saw this in farm country today. Surprisingly fast, it was keeping up with traffic at 45 or so. Not fun to be next to it though.

I also saw something very much like this:

I was walking down the ramp in daughter's dorm and it drove by, phone was in her room.  This was the closest pic I could find to it.

According to my son, who has never even visited a farm the tractor either a JCB or Challenger, lol. Too much farming simulator. 

In reply to Slippery :

JCB's can move (at least for a tractor!) so that's probably what it is.

On one hand, the brake setup, exhaust note, diffuser size, and the fact that it was on the street suggest that this is not a real C8R. On the other hand, what kind of masochistic madman would put fixed lexan windows in a street car?
 

Edit: Zoomed-up crop view:

In reply to GameboyRMH :

The lexan surround would be pretty easy to fake with vinyl...??

I saw my first 400Zed in the wild today.  It's a pretty thing, by golly.

And, what a pretty blue.

Been a long time since I saw one of these that was roadworthy... 

In reply to sevenracer :

Kinda weird how those never got the love that it's competitors did. In some ways they were ahead of their time and, on paper, out performed the competition. 320hp, awd, 6spd, rws and active aero.

This should spark a bit of discussion

Spotted by my son somewhere between Toledo and Detroit

In reply to XLR99 (Forum Supporter) :

That raises so many questions but I think I've found the answer. It's actually a Mercury Cougar.

Edit: Video - description says there are 10 of these things out there:

 

Last night, I went to Orlando. 

While heading there, I passed a BMW M2 heading north on I-95. It wore that iconic Long Beach Blue Metallic. 

While coming home, I passed an M2–same color and also heading north on I-95 in pretty much the same spot. 

Same car? M2 convention in town?

...1000+ pounds heavier than the other Japanese hypercars

In reply to GameboyRMH :

IIRC those graphics and wing were a factory option in 2022, so they are a thing.  That one looks to have a much more agressive wing fitted though.

Didn't they also make working on a 300ZX Twin Turbo look easy?  
Someone a grade above me had a twin turbo Stealth or 3000GT back when they were new, can't remember which.  Had to be the most expensive car in the whole high school parking lot.
