What Magical Beast Could I Have Possibly Seen?

Lastnight I was driving down a dark mountain road just outside of Denver in a horrible Nissan Sentra rental. I had no idea a car could be so bland and boring... And awful, as the worst thing I had driven for any length of time up until this point was an older Mazda6, but that’s not the point of this post.

About half an hour west of city limits, something low, wide, and fast passed me in the fast lane as I piddled along in the slow lane, attempting to not lose speed on any inclines. However, given the lack of light and the speed this car was going, I only know what the back lights look like. This is were Oppo comes in and saves the day.

The car in question had one long, horizontal LED bar running from one quarter panel to the other, much like the Chiron. It also had what looked like alight lower on the bumper directly behind the each wheel, which may have been reflectors but nothing behind the car should’ve been able to produce that much light. Brake lights never came on, so I don’t have any helpful info there.

That’s about all the info I’ve got. The only two cars the come to mind is the Chrion (no way, right?) or the new A8 (I don’t think it’s been released yet). Any ideas? This plagued me all last night and I’m dying to figure it out.

Mind playing tricks on you. Happens to me all the time, especially at night.

“OH SHIT AN ILLEGALLY IMPORTED SKYLI-... Oh. Just an old Impala. Nevermind.”

Maybe a McLaren P1. Or one of the more “pedestrian” ones, they’re all pretty similar from the rear. I trust you would recognize a 911 Carrera 4S or new Panamera. Kia Stinger, maybe?

Only car I know of with a rear led bar like that is the Bugatti.. Maybe you saw a Bugatti

This happens to me way too much, to the point where if I actually see an illegally imported Skyline I’d just dismiss it as an Impala.

That’s what I was thinking.....C4S.

Somewhat better pic that shows the running lights, with reflectors lit up.

“Pfft. Freakin’ two door impala owners trying to fool everyone into thinking they got a skyline. YOUR FAKE NISSAN BADGES FOOL NO ONE, YOU JERKS”

“...wait, there was a two door impala in the 90s, right? Ehh, Whatever.”

What an angry ass this car has.

This may be the closest guess based on the reflectors. The overall silhouette doesn’t seem right but it was dark as hell and and I couldn’t see shit.

Definitely not the charger, but the Panamera does look close.

No, no. It was actually fast. Granted everything is fast compared to the rental Sentra, but still.

I think the bar is too tall but it’s on the right track.

A bicycle might be faster than a Sentra in the mountains...

Porsche seems like the mostly likely culprit.

Here’s the oddball suggestion.

I believe you might be right. On both accounts.
