Close-ish, but not a Tigra prototype.

Yes, it is an Opel of some sort, but I'm afraid a need a bit more information than that to gain a point.  Thanks.

Judging by the poor fit on the rear windows and a side window that looks like an air scoop. I would guess it is mid or rear engined.

From memory it is mid-engined (although I could be wrong!).

Vauxhall. Opel.  Basically the same thing, though 75% of these were branded as Opels (meaning that a Vauxhall-badged version also exists).

I'll give you that one Octavia as it is one of a quartet GM (3 x Opel, 1 x Vauxhall) stunt cars designed specifically for Disneyland Paris.

"Vaison Sport has designed, manufactured and maintained vehicles intended for the car stunt shows in Disneyland Paris and Disneyworld in Florida."

Thats what the "Vaison Sport" website tells us...
