I don't think that car likes me - it looks like it is permanently scowling...

I'm sure it's just having a bad day.

It thinks it's a superior race...

Well, somebody seemed intent on handing this one to you Rookies, with a big bow.

Experts?

Aryana 792, Belgium?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #8 on:** April 01, 2010, 10:48:07 AM »

Right car; not from Belgium. But I wasn't asking for the country.

okay, the company seems to be from Belgium and the car is featured in a video on TT-circuit Assen

Please ID brand, model and year for a point

Asian?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #15 on:** July 03, 2017, 06:02:44 AM »

Well, geographical location will be difficult. The designer is Asian, his company has moved around.

el_monty · « **Reply #16 on:** July 03, 2017, 07:13:47 AM »

Has this designer made other cars?

Found it! Its the iEV Ariana 792 by Iranian designer Jamshid Arian. He used to be based in Australia and now he's in Germany. I knew I had seen this microcar before but couldn't place it; I have located it now because it turns out I had the iEV2, a more recent creation of Arian, in the pipeline as my next puzzle.

The company (iEV Motors) has moved to Denmark as of 2019, but it seems this particular vehicle was built in Iran circa 2001-02. From the company's website:

This vehicle appeared in a previous puzzle back in 2010. A search probably failed due to the difference in spelling, the correct spelling being "Aryana" with a Y.

Thanks for spotting it
