VDS, a well know racing team, that dates back to F5000 and before have come up with this rather good looking GT.

Has a Pantera look about it.  I'm always up for something that looks different than the usual cookie-cutter GT design theory.
Many fond memories of VDS racing over here.  Longtime regulars in F5000, Can-Am, Indycar. etc
Personal favorites for me are Geoff Brabham's 1981 Can-Am title run, Al Holberts 1982 Can-Am campaign, and John Paul Jr's epic 1983 Michigan 500 win, when he beat Rick Mears in a straight fight, something almost impossible to do at MIS.

Hideous was not my first reaction. Interesting that it has a Maser engine, because the side elevation has something of the 4.7 litre Masers of the '70s about it. It looks purposeful enough - although the wide open grill thrills me less.

Looks strangley odd - nice
Front yes 70's, Pantera era and back reminds me of Panoz

so need to see it in flesh, but overall not bad looking

Mind you it might be something to do with the TOP NOTCH photos  Smiley

Could be, they're not mine  Grin.
I still don't know what to think about it.  Starting to like the front but the side and the back are butt-ugly.

Front is a bit Viper-ish, but the overall impression looks like the back end and front end of two completely different cars welded together.

Fornt end reminiscent of the AM Vantage and side view of the AC428/ Cobra Daytona Coupe...chuck in a bit of Corvette and Pantera too and at least it's different....

It's a 70's SAAB Sonnet with a body kit.
