I fixed some mistakes. "Grand Turismo" created by Boris Mikhailovich Averyanov (Борис Михайлович Аверьянов) with Stasis Brundza (Стасис Брундза) and designed by Vadim Gusmanov (Вадим Гусманов) (1973-1975).
Point for prof. Paul Jaray..

Where (and when) was this car made?  The names seem Russian, but I suppose that could also include Belarus.  Clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Special for Ray:
The car was developed at the plant IZH since 1973, there have been several scale models and one 1:1 prototype, built in 1975.
"IZH Gran Turismo" -  was created in partnership with Stasys Brundza, who was then the factory racer and worked in the IZH’s bureau of trials.
As told Boris Averyanov, the project was not completely realized - was made fiberglass body, without the engine, after that Stasis Brundza went to Kaunas, Lithuania with that prototype for work with it.

The subsequent fate of the car is unknown.
