Fellow Autopuzzlers, for a point please tell me the name of this car.

Don't be naughty! Stay away from Google Search by Image, kids.

Well I was not aware of Cyana until now... It appears there is a link, in that both the puzzle car and the Cyana are derived from the same kit car.

I know these cars compete in Championships. I don't know the history of the specific unit in the picture (it's not a one-off).

Well, now you get a lock! The car is indeed by AB Performance. Just tell me the model name to collect your point.

There you go! Well-earned point. This car is powered by a Honda CBR 1000 RR engine and has been used to race in the 2016 750 Motor Club RGB formula. BTW the car both this and the Cyana evolved from is the Sylva Phoenix, which has had a lot of descendants. Unedited pic below.

Thanks! I didnt think that this and Cyana had any relation at all and that that was a wild guess. Cool!
