The Reliant FW11 was a five-door hatchback prototype styled by Marcello Gandini of Bertone in 1977. The British maker Reliant developed it for the Turkish manufacturer Otosan as a possible successor to the Anadol, on a wheelbase of 2629 millimetres with an overall length of 4350 millimetres and a body meant to suit engines from 1.3 to 2.0 litres. Four prototypes were built. Two stayed in England with Reliant badges and two went to Turkey wearing the Anadol badge, one white and one blue. Anadol judged the car too expensive to build at a profit and shelved it, and Reliant afterwards showed the design as the Scimitar SE 7 at the 1980 Birmingham Motor Show. Its themes later returned in the Citroën BX, and one of the Turkish prototypes has been on display at the Rahmi M. Koç Museum in Istanbul since 2004.
