Default Stunning Color and Shape

The first car I saw driving onto the polo field today for the Santa Barbara Concours De'elegance was this stunner. It has the most incredible changing paint, from orange to green flake. I have no idea what it is (many of you may know) but it certainly was memorable. Since many 997 owners are very wealthy I thought I would ask within this forum, rather than another.

Looks like the Vision SZR, I think they are a California based company...

Yes. The concept for this car was introduced in the late '90s, and revised in 2005. I believe this is the only vehicle that has actually been produced at a cost of $2M but it's rumored that actual production may begin soon......

Great looking car. I'm not a fan of the pearlescent paints that change color at different angles. To me it distracts from the great look of the car. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry, but this one is a "yuck" from me.
Looks too much like the old GM EV1.
Guppy-like.

Inspired by Woody Allen's Sleeper car ?

Now I'm confused. Which car is the real "Vision SVR"?
