This car was originally designed as a race car, but later became street legal production car. They are not made anymore.

Opel Vectra. Be interesting to see if Saturn gets an Aura wagon or not.

Looks like a TVR Griffith! If I recall this is a car with the engine hooked directly to the differential. There was no room for a driveshaft!
 
If I'm right about the car, it was once described as "the most dangerous production vehicle ever made".

It's the Chevy-powered Cheetah from the mid 60's. I think Shifty's right about the Griffith lacking a driveshaft, I doubt the Cheetah had one either.
 
Sorry Bumpy #2028 is an Opel but it's not a Vectra, it's the Signum and it makes a mighty handsome wagon, doesn't it?

It is the Cheetah. It was produced to be the competetor to the Shelby Cobra, and later nicknamed the Cobra Killer.

Sorry Forza, you're a little off on the year. By '68 Simca had absorbed Ford of France
and was IIRC on the verge of being absorbed by Chrysler. That one's a 1954 model.
