The 1993 Bourbon Adonis was hand-built by French car designer Nicolas Bourbon starting when he was the age of eighteen

The side profile is beautiful, but it looks a bit strange from every other angle.

Another car to put on the list of vehicles with phase 2 Citroën CX door mirrors

There's unfortunately not a whole lot of info about this car or pictures... and I have no Idea where it ended up.. I think its pretty cool though!

The website is surprisingly still up... there's some info and more (very low quality) photos of the car and its constrution:

Wait a second while I put my credit card back in my wallet.

"chez.fr" used to be the french equivalent of Geocities. I haven't seen a website using that domain in years.

Looks like it probably had a page visit counter but it is dead now.

[-]

dallatorretdu@reddit

there are some hard 1999 photos right there

This looks like all the sports cars I was doodling in my schoolbooks at that age.

I mean, it looks cool, but it definitely has some strong "90's teenage boy" vibes happening.

It looks like you tried to draw a Diablo from the front but couldn't draw the depth and angle properly in a 3D way.

I take it back. I think the G8x M cars from BMW have the most beautiful front end ever in the history of cars. At least in comparison to this thing.

[-]

BassTrombone71@reddit

Its looks remind me of the B. Engineering Edonis of the early 2000s. The name is also pretty similar. Is there a connection?

[-]

CanadaEh97@reddit

The Edonis is based on the Bugatti EB110 and seeing as this maker is French it could also be based on the EB110 if he started in 1993.

[-]

Capri280@reddit

The EB110 is actually Italian, not just in ownership, the Romano Artioli's Bugatti revival was completely based in Italy

[-]

The_Nabisco_Thing@reddit (OP)

As far as I know they are completely unrelated.. just a weird coincidence.... The Edonis is badass too!

[-]

Shawaii@reddit

Great profile.

Front end...not so great.

[-]

SinkHoleDeMayo@reddit

Hell yes, what a throwback. I actually spent a little time and year or so ago trying to find more photos. Always loved the side profile, so sleek and futuristic.

[-]

fartsfromhermouth@reddit

I hate the way it looks and definitely don't want to get in something built by someone not even drinking age

[-]

R32_driver@reddit

Other than the wheels I think this think looks sick!

The money you saved not buying tires you would end up spending on getting your fillings replaced if you drove it on normal roads.

Thirsty_Comment88@reddit

Pioneers used to ride those for miles!

cat_prophecy@reddit

I don't care for the front. It looks like an even uglier EB110 and not in a fun, sexy way. The side profile is amazing though.

[-]

Saddam_UE@reddit

Front end looks like the Bugatti EB110

[-]

joshuatx@reddit

French like those Easter Island headlights

Side profile of a Veyron. Front profile of the Master Control Program from Tron.

Another appearance of the Citroen CX door mirrors.

Mr_WAAAGH@reddit

I actually like the side profile, but what the fuck is happening in the front

[-]

On one hand, this thing is ugly and dumb as fuck - on the other, what the fuck have I ever built or achieved? My automotive pinnacle was rebuilding the L20 in my ‘71 510, and my dad helped a ton. Good on him.

[-]

broccolisbiggestbeef@reddit

The headlights are a bit wonky, and the "tires" don't actually look like tires. They look like solid forklift tires, if I'm honest. Other than that, it's got a dope shape. I wonder if it ever ran under its own power?
