This concept was designed as a submission for the Factory Five design contest of May 2011, in which free reins were given to designers to suggest the exterior styling for their new car kit.
It occured to me that most compact cars or coupes root their aesthetics in the intalian / english lexicon. Yet the very powerful American Muscle Car brand language has never really been attempted in this category.

This concept, softened by german accents, is such an attempt.
