Cars - For Car Enthusiasts @lemmy.world sh4zi @lemmy.ca 2y ago Saw this car pass me the other day, any idea what it is? Apologies for the crappy quality, had to get this off a phone picture of my dash cam footage.

Funny retro design, looks a bit like the Datsun 240Z from the 1960's. (I know it's not) https://www.autoweek.com/car-life/classic-cars/a34041008/the-datsun-240z-offered-elegant-performance-in-a-muscle-car-world/
The 240z started in 1969. It was more an icon of the 70s than 60s and took its major inspiration from the Jaguar XKE, as so many others did. This car looks like it's using elements from the Jag XKE but with an XK150 grille. Pretty car.
I also thought Chrysler Crossfire when it passed me, but after looking at the picture again, the tail lights look much different.
Maybe a Wiesmann MF4
Correct

It sells between $200,000-$300,000 omg.
Yep, that's it: https://wiesmann.com/pages/wiesmann-mf4
Yes that's definitely it, I recognize the front end as well and it looked just like that
