Found this car in my uncles storage facility at Vermont. No idea what the hell it is. Looks like some sort of concept car that was abandoned.

That rear spoiler position reminds me of the old dodge stealths.

Eagle talon concept?

I think everyone should do a Google Image search before they start posting random crap.

Looks like a bucket of yuck.

Or a Pontiac, I was thinking 4 door Sunfire/Stealth thing.

Reminds me of the 1992 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray III Concept.​

I searched for Eagle Vision concept and found the Lamborghini Portofino Concept that might be pretty close (remember Chrysler owned Lambo in the late eighties and early nineties)

I also found that one of the Eagle Vision Concepts looked pretty sweet and reminds me of an Alfa Romeo:

That is amazingly close.....

I've been searching excruciatingly for awhile, and it definitely seems to be Dodge/Chrysler in nature, late 80s/early 90s. It's tough sifting through all the internet bull••••, though.

 

[frenchblueC2]

these are the only pics you took of it?
any close ups?
what's the stamp on the sideskirt say?

come on man, are you purposely trying to keep people in the dark?

You is smare. I enlarged the pic a bit, and it APPEARS to say "VISIONTT" but I can't say for certain.

Hi res pics available?

 

[FauxhawkFox]

Is that an emblem on the tip of the front bumper?

Almost looks like an Eagle logo. Damn you OP all to hell for currently lacking hi res. Get on it ASAP or I kick you in the nuts!

 

[salvadorr90]

Keep in mind that I just copied that from the original thread and that's the only pics the guy took

 

[blu_fuz]

It does almost look like the Eagle emblem on that front bumper.....

 

[zorrex]

Oh, it sounded from this post here that it was YOUR uncle's storage facility. I can't access the SHOforum thread because you have to be a member. I suggest getting the OP to post higher-res pics. I'm going with an Eagle Vision TT at the moment.

Like Toolman said, the 2 cars are not identical. However, the Lamborghini/Chrysler Portofino does share a pretty strong resemblance with this particular concept. I mean, just look at the back.

Very similar.

Now... it has what looks like a little Eagle badge on the front and it's been established that it says 'VISION' on the side. Look at the Wikipedia page for the Eagle Vision.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle_Vision

Specifically, this:

...

The chassis design was continually refined throughout the following years, as it underpinned more Chrysler prototypes: the 1989 Chrysler Millennium and 1990 Eagle Optima.

The appearance, still based on the cab forward exterior design of the 1987 Lamborghini Portofino concept, with its aerodynamic shape, made for little wind noise inside this large car.

The Eagle Vision is based off the Lamborghini Portofino concept, which they toyed with over the years... therefore my vote is still for Eagle Vision concept.
