I like both cars AND animals so I'm having so much fun watching this puzzle unravel! I actually knew what a colugo is (flying lemur),  and they are pretty damn cool beasts. A car could do worse than be named "the Colugo"!
Keep going Oko94, cheering for you here!

Fox ?
At last!! Well done Oko94, after five years we have finally established that this little device is called the Fox.  Two points to you, but I will keep it here to complete the puzzle with the name of the creators behind the car.   :applause:

Golly, it's good to see this Puzzle revived after such a long time. So long in fact that I have now misplaced the name of its creator(s), so for the moment, proof will be required to show would built this Nissan Micra-based Fox in the late-1990s in the UK. Happy hunting, and four points now on offer until mid-April 2019 if you can find the builders name(s)!

Hopefully if I'm right I'll be still entitled to my 4 points. It the Silver Fox built by Jeff Harrison, from Mawdsley Bleachers ECV in Brampton, Cumbria.  Quite generously supported by Nissan in Sunderland. PM sent of source.

Wow, at last!  :applause: Very well done Skut, and as this puzzle has been here for so long (eight years!), I am happy to award you four points, even through we have now passed mid-April, albeit only by a few days.

The model name was the Fox (a.k.a. Fox 1 and Silver Fox), an electric two-seater based on a Nissan Micra platform, conceived by Jeff Harrison and part-funded by Mawdsley Bleachers ECV, (pallet Fox Composites Ltd.) plus the Nissan factory in Sunderland. It was revealed at the Knockhill Circuit in Scotland in early 2000.
