One point for its name.
One point for its builder.

Prove it's not impossible

This particular picture comes not from the magazine, but I have found its name in a magazine from the very late 60s.

Clue time:

#1 - A great Russian pianist has the same surname as the builder of this car,
#2 - The name of the car. See the attached picture.
#3 - I decided to give a point for the one who can correctly name the engine of this vehicle.

No. For all cases.

Three points for a single puzzle. C'mon!

Arunas · « **Reply #18 on:** May 13, 2010, 11:37:57 AM »

Clue time #2:

#1 - Google would help quickly
#2 - See the attached picture + this name was also used for the model of very well known sportscar manufacturer.
#3 - Make a guess

Ray B. · « **Reply #19 on:** May 13, 2010, 12:52:28 PM »

Dolomite?

Ray B. · « **Reply #20 on:** May 13, 2010, 12:55:59 PM »

Virage?

Virage?

Yes! Quite so. The car is named Вираж-2 (Virazh-2), so I believe this answer is the closest possible. The first point is gone.

Was it powered by an Izh motorcycle engine?
