Not sure where/who this originated from (more than happy to discover), but this Citroen DS Streamliner popped up around five years ago on twitter and pintrest.
I had seen it a couple of times, thinking that it would make a great lego build at some point.
I don'y actually think its a real car, more a digital render, as there is no other information about the vehicle, and only this one single image view. It does look great though, and might actually work as a Streamliner Salt Flat racer, though it would need a significant step up in power over the standard 4-cylinder Citroen engines installed in the DS in its original form.
Having owned a car of similar mechanical configuration (front-mid-engine FWD), I might suggest the ubiquitous Chevrolet small-block pushrod V8. maybe a Porsche 911 transaxle for transmission and final drive placement.
Though slicing the roof of would improve frontal area, the drag Cd improvement over the already excellent DS shape would not be as significant as seen on some other Salt Flat cars.
Nonetheless, would do other people think?

In 2014, when drones were more of an expensive novelty, we had to get aerial photos the old-fashioned way - a helicopter! An enterprising fellow had successfully sensed a business opportunity and offered Streamliners patrons the chance to spend ten minutes or so in the air above the NCTM for a small fee. It was an interesting experience - not something I would necessarily do for its own sake, but certainly enjoyable when photos such as this were to be had.

A71 charges away from Colac, as it hurries towards Warrnambool with 9203 running 10 hours behind schedule.
A71 was scrapped on the 1st of June 2019, with A79 the month prior and A73/77/81/85 in January. A78 is stored at SSR's North Bendigo facility in an un-operational condition.
The A class has now been reduced from 11 to 5, the bulk of those being in V/Line ownership; A60, 62, 66 & 70, all stored. A66 is the only member stored in a serviceable condition (at SSR North Bendigo workshops), the rest have various parts missing.
The A class were originally the "B class", before being overhauled in 1983 at the Clyde Engineering Rosewater facility in South Australia as part of the "New Deal", a plan to reform passenger rail in Victoria. Initially the entire class was to be converted, however owing to rising costs due to structural fatigue, only 11 of the 26 were completed. Today, 10 B classes remain, with 4 in an operational condition.
The A classes lived an operational life spanning 30 years, extending for another 5 as stored, although it's important to note they really lasted approximately 67 years.

Fun with American Flyer Trains! While hanging out on Chief's layout this morning, I wanted to setup our version of the big event at Spencer using the 12-stall roundhouse on the Chicago, Midwest & Pacific.
A variety of engines from AC Gilbert, Lionel, S-Helper Service and American Models are represented.

Visit to the Open House on October 15, 2017 at the historic Packard Proving Grounds in Shelby Township, Michigan. Packard's proving grounds were on Van Dyke Road about 22 miles north of the center of downtown Detroit. The open house featured several Packards on display, as well as a cruise-in for any interested classic car owner.

8878 Hopper Transfer from Port Augusta to Lithgow was operated by SSR Streamliners B61 S317 GM27 GM10 and S302, ahead of 96 empty coal hoppers.
Starting at Blayney, this series of images follows the train through to Bathurst (where they left the hoppers) and then onto Lithgow.

Mounted on the side of UP 951 is this General Motors builders plate, denoting the E9 simply as an 0-6-6-0. Serial number 20488 rolled off the production line at La Grange, Illinois in June 1955.
Australia's very first EMD streamliner was GM1, entering service in September 1951 for Commonwealth Railways.
Chicago Burlington & Quincy #9911 prepares to pull a short train of passengers on the grounds of the North Carolina Transportation Museum in 2014. She came down from the Streamliners at Spencer event, just a short distance from her old stomping grounds.
CBQ 9911A was built by EMD in 1940 as an E5A and named the Silver Pilot. The chrome paint is a classy touch.
