From the shape of the door, I'd guess there is a Corvette in there somewhere.

Yes, there's a Corvette lurking underneath - well spotted. But the question remains: what's this?

It was meant to be a low-volume production - I don't know whether it happened or not.

And it is neither British or from the Northern part of Europe

If it was indeed made in 1988, then this Russian prototype is much younger than my puzzle

Is the company currently tuning Corvettes or involved with them in some other way?
