Talk:Flash (G1)

The vehicle mode is NOT based on a Diablo, but an obscure sports car from the 90's which I have trouble remembering the name of. I hope I can find the magazine I first saw it in so I can figure it out eventually, but either way it's no Diablo. It just happens to be slightly similar at the front and even that is a stretch.

The curve of the windows and the back-end of the car is ALSO similar to a Diablo. It's not impossible that there's some obscure European car that Flash resembles more, but I feel skeptical at the moment considering how much Flash looks like every other Diablo Transformers has done, which is several. --ItsWalky 12:46, 26 November 2010 (EST)

The original commenter is correct, it's clearly a Cizeta (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cizeta-Moroder_V16T). The reason it is reminiscent to a Diablo is that it is a modified version of the initial Diablo design by Gandini which was toned down for the Diablo but ultimately basically revived in the V16T.Hrjhrjrj (talk) 23:43, 27 March 2025 (EDT)

I'd say the front end looks much more like a Diablo in the arrangement of the headlights (single rather than double) and indicators (as they don't curve towards the side like the Cizeta, and ESPECIALLY the placement of the logo in the artwork. I'd say it's an unholy amalgamation of the two. BaronXVI (talk) 02:59, 11 April 2026 (EDT)
