Right, it would be easy to research this car and find out, but without doing so do you know what make and what engine?

Looks like a Spyker, with a Pontiac emblem on the lower rear. So I'll guess Spyker-Pontiac.

I think the "Pontiac emblem" is an arrow for the Jackman. That does resemble a Spyker emblem on the tail.

I don't know whether this counts as a puzzle or not, or if it is meant to be 'solved', but that last one has to be a Saleen S7, doesn't it?

Just to finish answering this question.
As said, it's a Spyker C8 Double 12R
The MOTOR is an Audi 4.2L V8 (similar to the RS4) making 480bhp in street trim (C8 Double 12S) and around 600bhp in Race (C8 Double 12R)

The Spyker C12 is based on the 6.0L W12 found in the Audi A8L
1995 Buick Roadmaster
