Imo, it's weird but in a good way.

Yeah, I would drive the shit out of this lol.

It's like a Lotus Europa and a DeTomaso Pantera had a lovechild.

C'est fou que personne ne relève le lien avec la espada, pour moi elle est clairement l'inspiration

Whatever happened to them making cars that look this good?
ObjectiveResident537@reddit
Reminds me of the Mazda RX500

70s wedge shaped cars are the best in my opinion.
fauxregard@reddit
I totally agree. Lancia Stratos, De Tomaso Pantera, Lamborghini Countach, and more. Legendary era.

Pantera vibes

The slightly cockeyed googly headlights are killing me...

Also an Isuzu? :)

That’s the car from BBC tv show UFO. It was a one-off (or two-off if I recall).
pomdudes@reddit
Joey Isuzu never told us about this!

Was also a James Bond submarine?
IRingTwyce@reddit
It's like a Temu Espada, and I'm here for it.
gankindustries@reddit
The design was done by Tom Tjaarda, the same person who designed the De Tomaso Pantera and you can really see the similarities
SGDFish@reddit
Makes sense, looks closer to a Mangusta for me though
Trevski@reddit
My first thought was Espada
No_Cook2983@reddit
Arepa.
KamakaziDemiGod@reddit
Looks a lot like some of Marcello Gandinis work, like the Lamborghini Espada, which came out just before this Izuzu
Horror-Raisin-877@reddit
Interesting, totally different from the stereotype I have in my head for Isuzu. I think durable tough off-road vehicles, simple and tough trucks, that kind of thing.
Squrton_Cummings@reddit
I always think of Joe Isuzu from the 80s tv ads.
"The lowest price truck in America about six dollars buy a truck now and you can get 3.9 financing or 500 pounds of bananas."
Horror-Raisin-877@reddit
Ah yeah, those were very popular ads. Would never have remembered that if you hadn't mentioned it.
Confident-Benefit600@reddit
Hot wheels red line car
billysugger000@reddit
That's a bit different to the regular Bellett.
fothergillfuckup@reddit
Hint of Europa?
sorestgore@reddit
The Japanese Europa. Wow
WonderFoxer@reddit
Hard to believe this is an Isuzu. They were cooking back then.
