Time to give away some points. You know the drill - tell me the name of the car pictured below and you'll be awarded a point  :)

It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

Is that a real car or a model - the shutlines don't ring true to me?

Any connection to the planned Facel Vega Le Mans car of the 1960's?

It's the AMD from 1991. The car - in order to be precise their mock-up - was built by Automobiles Michel Durand - who is the son of the famous French plastic sportscar builder, Jacques Durand.

Yes :)
It's the AMD, an updated version of Jacques Durand's earler car - Scora. It was realised in 1991 by him and his son Michel (AMD=Automobiles Michel Durand), but due to the complexity of homologation issues, it remained a mock-up.
Well done!
