Chris, There were 2 versions of the GTR/X.The one your refering to looked like a cross between an E-type jag and a 240z and had a holden 6 with triples and would have been the first oz car with 4 wheel discs.The other version was called a Hurricane GTR/X which had a rotary engine.It had a 4 headlight monza type front end but looked like a uc hatch from the side.Looked a little like the rover.This car was known as the green lizard.
