No. It does look remarkably similar from the back but the Cambiano has four doors (and that's another clue)

Luton is Vauxhall but it doesn't look like anything they've ever made......one of the legends parents came from Luton.

Re: Car Challenge?
Correct
The underpinnings of the Pininfarina Chronos were supposed to be from the mighty Lotus Carlton but it never happened.
The Lotus Carlton was first built in 1990 with a 3.6 twin turbo giving 377bhp, 0-60mph in 5.1secs, 0-100 mph in 11.1secs and on to an unlimited top speed of 177mph; and all packaged into a reasonably discreet four door saloon.
