1 point for identifying this car and its maker:

Up to the Experts..

The taillights and the 4 exhausts scream out Audi. is it based on a TT?

That's what I thought as well but no Audi parts AFAIK or any connection at all.

It is difficult to talk about parts/relationship when the car is just a rendering (likely from a design student too).
I've already seen this and recently too, but I honestly don't pay much attention to all of these renderings and sketches. We don't even see 90% of them.
Last spring I was at IED in Turin, and I was talking with one of the students of the Transportation Design course. He showed me some of his sketches for the last project he was assigned. Eventually this student, Roberto Testolin, won the project, and we could all see his final deisgn. On the other hand, we never saw all of the other studies, designs and sketches, just because they weren't picked as the two winner.
End of the rant, sorry :D.

My information when I posted this is that a prototype has been made and exhibited at a major show. That may or may not be right, I don't know - I wasn't there!
Personally I find renderings interesting. Some of them do lead to real cars...
As I've said before, those Puzzlers who don't like them (and you're not alone there) can just ignore them and move on to a real photo!

Over to the Pros then..
-
Car developed by Hybrid-Technologies to compete the x-Prize in 2008.

Yes it is. But what's it actually called for that hard-earned point?!
Yours for 24 hours.

OK, I'll look for it.
All the sources so far call it the un-named car, and the LiV Rush is quite different.
-
Nice car indeed: the Inizio!
The company is also known under the EVII name.
The LiV Rush is an electric Mullen M11.
The Liv Wise is a Yaris
The LiV Dash is a Smart
The LiV Surge is a PT Cruiser
The Liv Flash is a Mini
The LiV Ryder is a bike
The LiV Cruze is a bicycle and
The LiV Bulldog is a fun-car
-
You're there since it's called the Inizio and it's by LiV - so it's the Liv Inizio.
You've earned your point.
Here's a question though - why does an electric car need 4 exhaust pipes?!
Anyone who can answer that question deserves more points (and I have no idea either!)
-
Maybe these are four AA batteries? ;)

Obviously!
I've awarded you a point for solving that one!!
;D

Eh...really? I've got the point indeed, but I doubt my joke was truth :P

Er.. quite so.. the guy who invents a car that runs on A4 batteries would become very wealthy indeed...!
But it gave me a laugh and it's Christmas so why not?!

Ah..thanks :D
