I would soooo rock this with a 3-rotor :





It vaguely reminds me of a 917...



...or a 250 GT Breadvan:

Nothing beats the Furai - sexiest, scariest-looking car ever!

This thing is hilarious. It looks like what "the car of the future" in a 1950s sci-fi movie would look like. I bet the inside is full of vacuum tubes, reel-to-reel tape, and flashing lights.



Also, apparently Japanese designers were obsessed with triangles in the late 60s/early 70s.

Just build one. Its not like its a Miura or some other unattainable exotic.. they can be had for 3-5K in great shape + 20K or so in mods, depending on the direction you want to take and labor you're willing to do.

That one is S2000 powered.

Decided to do a search out of curiosity. It's actually a rolling nightclub inside (FF to 1:30):
