Epic Elite
The Epic Elite is a twin engine bizjet that was to be built from kits. The basic appearance is like many other bizjets, with a T-tail and engines attached to the rear fuselage. Distinctive features of the Elite are the three nearly round cabin windows, two cockpit windows flush with the pointed front fuselage contour (no dedicated windscreen) and slightly raked, bent-up wing tips. It was not put into production. (photo: Sergey Ryabtsev/WikiMedia, modified)

Confusion possible with
Epic Victory
The Epic Victory is essentially a single engine version of the Epic Elite. It has the air intake in front of the vertical stabiliser, with an S-shaped tunnel to lead the air to the engine in the rear fuselage. For the rest, it looks like the Elite. (photo: Sergey Ryabtsev/WikiMedia)
Cessna 510 Citation Mustang
When looking closely to the Citation Mustang only the general appearance and the cabin windows may put you on the track to mistake a Citation Mustang for an Epic Elite. For the rest they are significantly different: the Mustang has a less pointed nose, cockpit windows not flush with the nose/fuselage contour, four cockpit windows and two ventral fins.
Cessna 525 Citation CJ1+
The Citation CJ1+ (and older versions) are even more different, having four oval cabin windows with squared off top and bottom, different cockpit (side) windows, but also no ventral fins.
Raytheon Premier I
Apart from the general appearance there are many differences between the Premier and the Elite: the shape of the cabin windows, the four cockpit side windows, the pointier nose, a single ventral fin and a more rectangular tail cone, to name a few.
