Same car, 2 different solutions.
You can tell me what is it for 1 point...
...and if you find out which company used this car in his official papers to present a future model, you'll get another point.

Remember there are 2 points here.
One for the real id of this car and one for the 'fake' one.
Not for a racing car company.
A big name asked 'someone' to design it.

Then Honda ?

I've read that Honda and the Indy Racing League have sponsored design competitions at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. Was this car designed during such an event ?

Edit : I think I have found something indeed (see attached picture). Design by Gairy Smith made in 1993 at Art Center College.

1st point is gone...now the hardest part...which company put this car in his papers claiming it would be their racing model? 1st clue, not a racing car maker.

Nice ! I guess I'll get my point when the puzzle is solved entirely ?

For the second part : was the company who claimed it would be their racing model a small American make active in the nineties ?

It won't take much...it's a pure guessing game now.
There is not the slightest clue about it anywhere but in those papers!
Company is probably still active (it was in 2010), not American.

We had at least 2 of their 3 models.
It's not From USA, Europe or Asia but it has a stong, very stong connection with a very famous brand.
