From what I know of this, it's a concept. But it's not Japanese.

As far as I know, Wingho has never been German, so the answer to that question has to be... nope. :)

Not a Treser.

And your choice of tactic could see you wasting quite a lot of time ;)

According to this "hint" I guess it's from an 'official' make?

Can't help a feeling that it has something to do with BMW. Am I getting somewhere with this?
It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

It's not from a tuner, no.

No.

I'd say you're getting quite far with this. It does indeed have something to do with BMW.

But it's a full-scale, fully functional prototype, right? No mock-up / static chassis?
