It's strange that all of the sudden now Volvo is comming out with a gullwinged sportscar, and that Ford also has a new Mustang that does something like 0-60 in 4.2 seconds or so. Especially now since the majority of JZD's legal hurdles are out of his way. The only real relation the car has to the DeLorean are the doors, other then that it just looks like someone slammed the rear end of a Honda into a Lotus that was fitted with gullwings. The doors have way too high a sill which really kills the practicallity of the car. From both the thickness of the doors combined with the hight of the door sill, the car does not appear to have torsion bars installed. Nor does it even appear to have functioning windows that roll down. Another thing to note on the doors would be the design. Appearance wise they look like they were pulled from a Bradley GT since they latch only at the bottom. There is no room/weight allowance to install a full safety cage in the doors. Plus I'd be worried the door might bend in and cut into my leg if not amputate it entirely in a side impact. Even if the tiny striker pin on the bottom held the door in place, the sill and the door itself are totally flush. Nowhere except the front does the door overlap it keep it from bending/cutting into the passenger compartment. If I had to put my life on the line, I would choose be inside of a DeLorean or Bricklin in a major auto accident then this Volvo. Can't tell if the car has a hatch back, but it looks more like a notch back trunk. It appears there's more room in the back for the engine, but it probably a front mount with rear seats since there are no grates/vents on the back to exhaust any hot air. Which you can then imagine the feeling of being "trapped" sitting in the back trying to get out by crawling over the seats and that door sill. A a 350hp motor would be impressive, it would kill any regular owner on insurance rates. Plus comparing this car to the DeLorean it looks as though the rear vision is worse creating even larger blind spots then the DeLorean. All in all, this will probably only be a limited production sports car. But even if it enters production indefinately, it would still be made in very small numbers.
