    Well maybe. The folks that own the name have been making models and shirts and replica cars and now they are going to make a torpedo motorcycle due in 06 and to be shown first in march. And a new car as well, also called the torpedo they're promising a 300hp v12 that can get 70mpg and the best weight/power ratio ever. Sounds impressive now they have to deliver! Not to fond of the design though. I'm curious as to what jay thinks and wonder if he will drive/buy?

    The rear sketch makes the car look like a Cizeta Gallardo v-24.

    I'll believe it when the first one is sold at retail.

    It would look nice if it didn't remind me so much of the Maybach coupe thing.

    I see a lot of design cues from other cars (Bently CGT, and vintage luxuries like the Bugatti Atlantique, and the Talbot Lago) but none from Duesenberg's.... I'd rather see a luxury 4 door Duesenberg that competes with the Maybach. And I think the claim for a luxury car getting 70 mpg is ridiculous.
