    What is this - anyone??

    Hi!

    This car was spotted in California in the vicinity of Yosemite NP. It looks familiar to me but I can't think of the name. Does anyone of you guys know???

    Looks like a grey short wheelbase pink panther car.



    Seriously - looks like it might be based upon a lotus elise mk1 chassis maybe??

    it looks potentially like one of those cars that are based on whatever is the current fastest street motorcycle engine

    Probably a one off car. Looks like a rebodied T-Rex to me though....
