    What kind of Gullwing car is it?

    In Brooklyn, NY there is a guy that has an awesome house.
    Think of like a movie themed restaurant but on a random street.
    Next to it are a few cars.
    One is a gull-wing and I can't figure out what it is.
    Got any ideas?

    The black car with the Batman stuff on it is a Manta Montage. The other one behind it that you're looking at is a Cimbria.

    Thanks, man. I just have a love of odd and obscure cars.

    To me the Cimbria always has much nicer lines than the Aztec 7 kit car.



    Of course if Gullwings aren't you thing (which would be unthinkable on a DeLorean board ) You could always go with the Cimbria's cousin, the Sterling Nova that opted for a canopy instead of doors.

    And to think the Delorean is criticized for being difficult to exit in the event of a roll-over.

    That Sterling Nova reminds me a lot of the Probe 16 (better known as the Durango 95 from the film version of A Clockwork Orange)

    Beautiful car.

    Wow, I must admit, even I did not know the answer just by looking at the picture.
    And yeah, those Probes are pretty cool. Only a few in existence if I'm not mistaken.

    Exiting the car in the event of a rollover isn't a concern with this car anyway. That canopy is fiberglass so you'll just be crushed to death.
