Vauxhall SRV

[1] Never intended for production, the car was an attempt to raise Vauxhall's profile and image while providing a research platform for novel design concepts.

[2] The car's exterior design was inspired by the short-nosed, long-tailed Le Mans racers of the time, but was able to seat four adults in comfort, despite being just 41 inches (104 cm) high.

Unusually, the design featured fixed front seats but with all of the driver controls adjustable for position, angle, and reach.

The engine is a 2.3-litre, transversely mid-mounted Slant-Four, featuring fuel injection with a top speed of 225 kilometres per hour (140 mph).

[5] The engine fitted to the SRV was actually a mock up; the car was unable to run under its own power and the necessary transverse transmission was never developed.
