This is a Japanese racecar Kuruma.
I love mid engined cars and was very excited when I came across it.
There are youtube videos of it.
Sounds heavenly too.
I want one!!

This  race car  "Kuruma V8" was designed by Masanori Sekiya, director of the Tom's Racing Team of Super GT.
The car will participate in the Inter Proto Series in Japan.
In general, this car looks like a Boomerang RG-One - http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=15175.0

I am trying to establish the relation between Boomerang RG-One and this Kuruma.

Please PM me if anyone knows official website of Boomerang (current one, describing all latest models) and Kuruma.

I don't think Boomerang has a current website, but according to Japanese websites, Kuruma was designed by Mr Ando of Boomerang fame
You can read a thorough biography of Mr Ando in the latest issue of Nostalgic Hero (I PM you the details)
