Doesn't this remind of you of...

So I was browsing through old Road and Track magazines I had and ran across this car, and I couldn't help but think of the strong resemblance to the FD. Then I realized that this car was probably the design inspiration for many of RE Amemiya's early body kits. Just look at that front bumper and compare it to REA's first bumper (AD Facer) for the FD. And that hood looks like it's still influencing current FD aftermarket hoods.

I'd like to say that the Jaguar XJR-15 is reminiscent of the FD, but seeing as how the Jaguar was around in 1990, it was probably the other way around. Either way, it's a beautiful car with similar lines. What do you guys think?

the xj220 looked much better. IMO this car has perfect bodylines. Unfortunately i've never seen one.



but you are right with the AD Facer, looks similar.
