Geez.  I'm running out of European manufacturers.  You say it's not German, British, Swedish, French or Italian.  What's left?

Eastern Bloc?

No.

hmm
this one isn't from a country famous of cars, You eliminate all the biggest country in Europe
another clue reminds me of an Alfa Romeo engines displacement
i know Gillet cars from many years and I knew they changed engines from Ford Cosworth to Alfa
there was also some racing versions
it was a lucky shot :)

1994:
QuoteGillet is a Belgian automobile manufacturer, started in 1994 by former racing driver Tony Gillet. The company produces the Vertigo sports coupé, an ultra-lightweight (990 kg) 'bespoke' and hand-built sportscar. The first Vertigo was powered by a Ford Cosworth 2.0 litre 4-in-line, later evolutions are powered by more powerful and noble engines: the 3.0 litre Alfa Romeo V6 engine and the 4.2 litre Ferrari/Maserati V8 in the latest evolution called Vertigo.5
3.2:
Gillet was timed 3,266 seconds in 0 - 100 km/h sprint by Guiness World Record as a fastest accelerating production car

this is the answer You were looking for
