PIC: Something different #122 (5/3/2026)

What is it?  Looks like a customized Karmann Ghia!

It looks fast and expensive. Thanks.

I LIKE it!

Wow! I'd love to take that car for a spin!

Yep, I have seen the Pegaso before. In fact, if I can track it down, I believe Raffi Minasian sent me a photo of his Pegaso. In a different configuration, this Z-102 is sharp! Jaunty and spritely, it looks to be like an overpowered go-kart, and I'd love to toss it into some mountain turns!!

Thanks for another great and interesting case file John!!

Now that is artwork on wheels. 🤑

Yes, it DOES look like a Karmann Ghia!

Nice, but the first pic does make it look like an over-sized kit body mounted on a too-narrow chassis. Doesn't look so bad in the second pic, but I couldn't resist giving it a set of bigger boots and wider track. As ever, feel free to disagree. (I may have overdone it a little!)

@graeme-ogg, I didn't notice until you pointed it out. Yours is an improvement.

@jkuvakas +1

@jack-dodds +2.

As per my earlier post, above. Here's a shot of Raffi Minasian's Pegaso in his garage, left. The car on the right is his Lancia. Do not recall what model the Pegaso is:

A shot I took of Raffi at Concours d'Elegance in Pebble Beach 2000.

The 1954 Pegaso looks great ! A very neat automobile that would also make a pretty cool replica in any scale. Then, if someone viewed your model collection and knew/named this car, they would get a prize !

This is one I remember from my youth. I think there was an article about  the Z102 coupe in Road and Track back in the mid 1950s. I liked it then and I like it now.

Yep great looking car. IMHO there is a resemblence to the early 60s French Facel Vega. They made cars from 1939 to 1964. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facel_Vega. I cannot find any cross reference in either article.

I have an OK Hachette et al 1/24 of the Facel Vega. 

as always a really interesting contribution, thanks John
