Solved: PN #287 -- Taradis, Iranian hybrid car
« on: February 09, 2012, 03:28:41 AM »
A very Google Image resistant image has been heavily retouched. I hope the car is still recognisable. I need a name and its building organisation

Not a Chevrolet Ultra WTCC, not a racing car at all

It has the same exact front end.  It must be a ripoff design of the WTCC concept then.  I mean the EXACT same front.
plus it seems to have a wing as well.

Are you sure this wasn't the concept model?

Quite a large group of people, so it's probably not a garden shed one-off, rather a company workshop one. Was it made by a company that is associated with automotive industry in any way?
