And now a new concept with the same name will be presented at the Detroit Auto Show.

As you can see the design is a radical one but has some classic lines resembling older Y-Job (the first concept car in history) and Le Sabre models.

The body is mainly made of carbon fibre and with its Gullwing doors.
