Default AbFlug Demo car for sale?

Stumbled upon this:



http://www.carsensor.net/usedcar/det...529/index.html

This was one of their demo cars that was displayed at AbFlug's TAS 1999 booth(and looks like it). Now I'm not a fan of the colour and a few other things on the car, but I've always thought that this car had some very interesting details. I wonder what the thinking behind the hood vent is, and how functional it is. I've always thought the AbFlug sides have a tacked-on look, but here they're integrated with custom wide fenders, and appear to flow with the car. And the front aero looks like it may be functional, notice the extended length and the mid-section. What do you guys think?

Does anyone have any more information or pics of this car?

Exactly what I mean by 'interesting.'

The only other photo I have is in an issue of Sports Car International I purchased when I was 9. It has the same wheels as the Z parked beside it in the above picture. Also, from the ad we know it has a 2JZGTE and 6-speed transmission.

I can read Japanese a little.

AbFlug translates into English as "Rice".

So does the German word for rice, "Hamman"...

If you wanna find more about this car just buy the HyperRev V.35 - Soarer book. This monster has 4 pages devoted to it. The thing is all function - built to go 320kmh+ on the Wangan.

I don't care for the bumper or the colour too much, but that's besides the point. I still want it
