Absolutely awesome đź‘Ť I never knew two of these were made, I thought it was the only blue one that was everywhere back in the day.
 
There's a red one too. Maybe one got repainted? They say the designer might own one as well, but that's just a rumor.

No, wait. Now that I'm looking into it, it seems the EB112 was just black and red cars, the blue one I remembered was the EB118, but it was a 2-door coupe :0

Saab EV-1

A fully working Saab concept car first shown in 1985. Unlike the name might suggest, the EV-1 was not an electric vehicle, but was based on the then new 16 valve 900 Turbo, with some performance upgrades that gave the car a power figure of 285 bhp. Thanks to the power and the aerodynamic shape of the 2+2 coupe body, the car was able to reach the top speed of 270 km/h. Under the glass roof there were solar cells that powered a fan that cooled the interior on sunny days. One remarkable thing about it was that it has seats from Chevrolet Corvette despite the fact GM hadn't yet bought the automobile division of Saab when it was made.

There was also the 1985 EX-E concept, which shared some early design cues with the F, particularly the rear:

Came across this today, the one-off Ferrari Testa D'Oro Colani

And not particularly recent.

I just threw it up there to more easily show other Colani one-offs. ;)
 
So the sultan really likes his Astons and Bentley's.
 
Think this would be the right thread

Buttsy Butler's got his hands on one of Sauber's 2011 F1 cars and has had it fitted with a 15,000rpm 630bhp 2.7-litre supercharged V8 (with Mountune stickers on it, so assume it's a Mountune build), for reasons of wheelspin...

He had all sorts of weird one offs. I find a new one every couple months it seems.

Notice the blue Ferrari Mythos next to it.

The funny thing is he always drive his AMG G 55/63/65 (I think its the Brabus now) every time we see him on the road.
