Is the car a hybrid, produced/sponsored by a supplier of electricity/electrical gear?

Not an hybrid.
Not by a supplier of any kind.

Is it maybe a car for a movie production?
This is not correct but terribly close.

To sum up:
Built in Italy, later than 1990, meant for production, Audi-based, not by a supplier, an engineering company, a model car company, an oil company, a magazine, a design studio or a company producing any part of the car.
It was not built for a movie, TV series and it never appeared on TV.
It was meant for production and not for promotion purposes.......

Was the development of the car being paid for by a TV or film company, so they could attach their name to it ?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Not precisely, but you are into something...not a TV or film company.

Not that.
The key is the Company and why they decided to buid this car.
The Company is not totally disconnected from the automotive field but is not producing anything to build or engineer it...

You said I was closer with wheels, and it's not a part of the car.... is it a manufacturer of jacks/hoists ?

was it built after the ban of Group-B rallycars as an evolution of these cars  into a civilian 'roadcar'

Nothing about wheels, I was wrong, it was pnegyesi's reply, not yours...sorry about that.

Nothing to do with races.

Was it featured in a car magazine (maybe another QR car?) as a virtual 'car of tomorrow' or something like that?

Featured in a video game (although I doubt that graphics were already good enough to clearly define the details of cars in games)?

OK, I'll make it clearer....the puzzle car was never on TV.
