Not just me then! The first name that came to mind when I saw this was 'Jenatzy'. :D

Made by the Japan Electric Vehicle Club, this is a wooden-bodied replica.  One site names it as L'homage ŕ la Jamais Contente but that could equally be a description.  Location: Tokyo?

I'm baffled.  that name/description came from the Washington Post.  The only other site I found is a Japanese one that refers to the “JAMAIS CONTENTE” EV Replica but the site appears to have been written by an auto translator and this looks like a badly translated description.

It also seems to be referred to as the Jamais Contente Homage II.
Anyone got a good grasp of Japanese...?
