The car was not built in the UK or Germany, and is based on Audi mechanicals.

Was the car built in Italy?

Not a company producing anything to build a car.

nicanery asked for 'wheelmaker?' and you replied ~ closer than other guesses, but not quite near... :scratch:

Is it maybe a car for a movie production?

Was there a particular reason why the engine capacity was reduced from 2200 to 2000 cc?
And is there a non-embarrassing reason for the fake mid-engined-side-air-intakes?

Was the engine capacity was reduced, to offset a corresponding increase in boost pressure?

Two litre displacement sounds like Italian tax restrictions to me.

sorry, I was not clear...not a model company.

was this a project by a supplier?
I won't call it a supplier, but yours is the closest guess so far.
this was the one I meant, not nicanary's one ...I don't know why I put his name later...
about your guess...it's not a car for a movie production but you are drammatically close.

Wendax is right...it was intended for production.
Agip?
Not Agip or an oil company
Built before 1990?
After that...
