Not exactly the name I have.  Worth quickly double-checking your facts.

Sorry 75America, I was distracted on the 'phone and mis-read your answer.  It is of course correct, so you have the point  :)

I saw this image today, and it convinced me to post a new batch of puzzles.

To earn one point, provide the approximate year, make, and engine type of this vehicle.

Point awarded to Paul Jaray, for an incomplete answer which provided more information than i had.

Searching for "Suppan Sphynx" led to a Polish web site which provided a detailed history of the car.

Another solved puzzle of a vehicle with diamond wheel layout.

The car was recently on display at the National Motor Museum in the UK.  Here is another photo of the car sitting in a driveway:
