It doesn't look right, doesn't it?

For one point, please respond and tell me what it is supposed to be, which engine was used and what this car was used for.

Yes, good guess. If you can find out the movie or the engine, I will lock it. Both will earn you a point.  :)

Happy to have had a good idea, but it's not my field and I don't know where to search...
Let it open for other puzzlers!

Good ideas are always welcome. And there is a very interesting website about cars in movies ;)
Open for all.

Right movie. Locked for you until your next reply to find or guess the engine.

No find  :-\
The used engine is not mentioned on that very interesting website about cars in movies.
but then again, so isn't the puzzle picture. So you also must  have another source. which I can't find at the moment  :)
 
I'll have to guess then, so, did they use a MB engine like the 5000 cc straight 8 ?

Less sophisticated, think like a movie maker, not like a car enthusiast

It would be hard work to change the engine sound, so it better be an eight cylinder engine.  ;)

You found it! (With a little help ...)  ;)
I don't know whether the engine info is online available. I have it from a French book.

Another point earned.

not at all - location sound is almost never used - instead everything is fabricated after cutting picture.
a good sound recordist will get what they can from a shot as a guide track and after 'cut' or before leaving the set or location call for quiet and redo the lines, actions, effects and atmosphere - ambient sound - if possible but most actors expect to give a vocal performance at a later date which is mixed in with what the editors have assembled. afaik.
