Is it a bigger Citroen, masquerading as a 2CV?

It wouldn't be a UMAP would it?

I guess it's mounted on a SUV 4x4 chassis (e.g. Suzuki Vitara, etc?).

It's built on a SUV chassis, indeed. But which one? Not a Suzuki

From the look I'm guessing Japanese. Toyota?

This is the JEEPTROEN 8 CV as the Swiss people named their conversion.
The engine is a 5.9 liter V8.
It's built on a JEEP CHEROKEE CHIEF chassis and is 2.03 m wide and 4.86 m long.

I´ve seen this thing at the Street nationals Nuremberg in 1999/99 or 2000.

It´s been quite huge and it looked better than you would suppose when you only see the pictures.
