A different kind of gullwing door. Well, the sill might be a little too high.

For one point, please respond and identify car, base and year.

I remember this car, it was used to pace CART/Indycar races over here in the USA/Canada.

Based on a Renault Turbo II (the rear engine R5) , it was called the Turbo Wedge.

Built in 1983

Renault and AMC were an item back then so the car was used to publicise both companies.

Year and base car are right, and you certainly have the correct car, but I have another name. Locked for you.

Aero was one part of its name I was looking for. Just to torture you a bit longer, I'm still missing the final part. Hint: it is a three-letter abbreviation.
