How does that even work?

Ah, the Sultan of Brunei, one of the most notorious car collectors... And a specialist in having custom made one-offs for himself, as that XJ220 proves. The Imperial Green color, if it is true, is a neat touch, consdering that only the Carlton used it in the color's history.

Not sure if I aprove of that front revamp however; it feels a bit close to one of those Indian (or insert your lesser-known country that designs limited production supercars here)-designed supercars, the retractable headlight setup in the original design seems more smooth and cohesive. The rest is another fine Pinnin work, make no mistake about it...
 
Reminds me of the Mythos, at the rear.

Here's one I didn't know existed.

Well, that's yet another rebadged Suzuki I now know about.
 
Jaguar XJ220 Pininfarina

A Sultan of Brunei special. In what looks like Lotus Carlton Imperial Green.

I sort of like this, but it's not a patch on the proper XJ200. This always reminded me of a sort of more modern looking Vector.
 
Chevrolet Corsa. Did GM just rebadge every opel as a Chevy?

For the Brazilian market.

This really doesn't look too good. "How many generic 1990s supercar bits can we shove on this"

It was at a car show in Detroit, didn't know what it was.
 
But are they the same car? And are they a gti r?
 
They couldn't have made only two cars, for two separate markets, and still produce it for 4 years.


They needed to make at least 500 of them in the first year alone to even race the thing.
 
I can't even find where it says only two were made on Wikipedia.

It's the second paragraph under the GTI R part in the 90-95 section.
 
Two distinct models of the car. Not two cars produced total.


Like a Civic Type R versus a Civic Si when compared to the rest of the Civic range.
