I've searched the net high and low to get an ID for this car. No success.

 

Not even various AIs can identify it. The most common AI suggestion is Alfa Romeo Canguro, but none of the various pictures of a Canguro that AI produces as a response resembles this car.

 

When AI is told this is not a Canguro, other suggestions is various Simca-Abarth, Lamborghini, and Fiat-Abarth models. Also wrong. None of them looks like this car.

 

So let's get some HI (Human Intelligence) around here a try to crack this nut. The picture is shown as an illustration at 12:40 into this video about the scrapped Chevrolet Corvair Monza GT prototype project with Larry Shinoda as a chief architect.

I would say the whole photo is AI generated. It's definitely not a Corvair.

I agree. The focus is too perfect... the background is uniformly the same level of focus from the car. At this distance and angle there should some background in focus and get progressively worse the farther away from the camera. Look at the back of the car and realize the person behind it (not that far away) and notice he is focused the same as the person at the front of the car... sorry for the photography nerd-out...

Possibly an AI rendering of a fantasy Hyundai vintage sports car.

 

Look at the badge on the hood.

 

Also, it has the oversized headlights that prevents the Toyota 2000GT from being one of the most beautiful cars of all time, IMO.

The wheels and the door handles are other obvious signs of AI to me.

[Dave Crevie]

Probably Ai or an artist's rendering. What appears to be a logo on the fender is really three slits. I don't recognize the emblem on the nose. Possibly a follow-up design for the Apollo GT? I think you got me on this one.

It's definitely AI - there's plenty of places to look and see it's not how real life is. The front wheel lug nuts. The cameraman at the right grabbing the camera that should be 10 feet behind him on a tripod. No wires to power the cameras. No brace at the bottom of the tripod, etc.

If you look at the door handle, you can see that you find the same on a bathroom or your garden gate.
The so-called "artificial intelligence" got confused just a bit. 

[Brian Czeiner]

It would make a nice slot car.

[ravajack]

Aaahh... I... see it now. It takes real HI to reveal an AI hoax.

Interesting times ahead, as not even AI can correctly identify another AI fantasy creation...

A bit of pity really, as I liked the car that initiated this thread and really wanted it to be — real.

A cross between a industrial vacuum cleaner and a crome pigg bank.
The roofline is reminiscent of the mid engine corvette. The rear fenders are camero(67-68)ish.the grill is a nock off of a late 50's Ferrari and the headlights, I can't remember. Definitely a ai amalgamation of someone's dream,or nightmare.

I like the overall shape and curves, but the front end of the nose is too high and short. Make the front air opening centered with the center of the wheels, and stretch it forward 9 inches and you've got a winner!

[MSwiss]

It looks like they stole the roofline from this 74 Ferrari Boxer.

A Euro 365 Boxer. Possibly.The mouth looks a bit Maserati'ish. The rest has Bertoni over tones. I'm sure that whomever drew this up,and if he reads Slotblog,is having a good chuckle at us debating this item.
