I like to think I know cars but what is this? Spotted in asda car park

Edit: auto trader says it's a "Nissan unknown". Looks very odd for a Nissan to me

I got the following from askmid "BentleyMitsuoka Galue 2 1950 Replica"

which then leads you to:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsuoka_Galue

edit: Not sure what the Bentley bit has to do with anything, as it is basically a Nissan.

Sure you could probably swap a Skyline engine in there as well

It is a Mitsuoka Galue-II, a JDM 'fake luxury' type car based on the Nissan Y34 (Cedric/Gloria)

It probably has a 2.5 V6 N/A with an auto box.

e; Damn you Armageus! I found out the old fashioned way with Google and keywords!

Pretty weird but interesting! Knew I could count on overclockers detectives. :cool:

dacads · 5 Dec 2016 at 15:30

That's a cool looking car :cool:

This has been outside my office for a few days now :cool:

I don't know if it's because of the angle but the car looks 80% bonnet. IMO the GT3 car looks so much better than the road car.

Akagi · 5 Dec 2016 at 18:30

Its about 40% bonnet, but its still a massive bonnet. I think they are very good looking cars personally.

Bonnet to car ratio reminds me of old e-types.

This is what the GT3 car looks like.

NO HOTLINKING

Looks a lot more angry.

Janesy B · 6 Dec 2016 at 13:20

That's a different car though...

MikeTheNative · 6 Dec 2016 at 13:27

Isn't it a AMG gt in the picture?

No, it's an SLS

MikeTheNative · 6 Dec 2016 at 13:38

Oh right, they do look similar.

almoststew1990 · 6 Dec 2016 at 13:50

Looks comfortable

Biffa · 6 Dec 2016 at 19:09

Not the most exiting, but I hadn't seen one in the flesh before now (yes they don't let me out much)

Nasher · 6 Dec 2016 at 19:26

There's not to many of them around since they only sell a limited amount per month. I've only seen one or two and there's a huge Ford garage just a couple of minutes from me.

Marvin · 6 Dec 2016 at 20:09

I've seen a couple now, but the first one I saw was in police livery near Bank in London - made me do a double take!

matt100 · 6 Dec 2016 at 21:03

That's a formidable police car! Little point running lol
