Here's a little history on the car. The article (term paper?) is a little old as it's obvious now that the car hasn't yet reached production even in 2002. http://www.collegetermpapers.com/TermPapers/Engineering/Bizzarrini_BZ2001.shtml And here are some additional photos. I agree that it dosn't look very good from the rear, but I think it has potential. Anyway, I'm a big Bizza fan so I guess I'm slightly biased.

It is a Bizzarini BZ-2001 I don't know if they ever actually made the car but it was a prototype in the late 80s and early 90s. I think it used a Ferrari testarossa powertrain, but I am not possitive. I would love to see a real one. I have always thought it was a good looking car at least from this angle, if I remember correctly the rear is very ugly. |

might be the angle and these ugly wheels but I believe the car could look great in a different angle.

I can see a little Bizzarini influence in the nose slats, but the rest of it looks like a Camaro that's been hit by a howitzer shell. What's the history on this car? |

Sounds like you guys didn't approve, huh? It's the Bizzarrini BZ-2001. "It's a Bizza." |

I'd rather be looking at a TR body.  |

One thing I can say for sure: It really looks damn ugly (especially the stubby front!) |

Who can name this mystery car? (Hint: It's built on a TR chassis.)
