This 1971 Maserati Bumerang is a fascinating concept that still manages to look like something from the future.
With a few changes, it would probably make a cool EV in this day and age.

@J.E You will recognize this one, tourist from Porto Alegre stopping at my door, Brazilian "Chevrolet" version of the Opel Omega, I had never seen one, very nice car, the best of Opel, the cut of the rear wheel...charming
I don't know if it was manufactured in Brazil or imported and they changed the brand name?

Interesting, I would never have related this to the Opala but that's how our markets are and from there to the Holden lol.This generation of Omega was built in Brazil from 1992 to 1998. Initially it had Family II 2.0 litre 8 valve engine and the Opel sourced 3.0 litre inline six. In late 1994, the 2.0 was upgraded to 2.2 litres and the Opel straight six was replaced by a modernized version of GM's 250 inline six engine that powered the Opala, the Omega's predecessor. The Omega pictured above is a 95-97 CD 4.1. It had the GM 250 inline six engine with electronic sequential fuel injection.
This generation of Omega was replaced by the Australian imported Holden Commodore, which was sold in Brazil as the Chevrolet Omega from 1998 to 2012. Sadly we never got the V8 Commodore, only the 3.8 and later the 3.6 V6 engined versions. All based on the Holden Commodore Calais and Berlina, which from I understand were the most luxurious versions of the Commodore.
