Fellow Autopuzzlers, for a point please tell me what is this car, what powers it and who created it.

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

Okay, found it. It is called Pampero, designed by Pedro Campo und powered by a German V12 Argus engine from WW2. Very impressive machine !

Perfect answer!
The Pampero was built in 2004, according to Campo, who was also responsible for the Eniak Antique and the Trueno Naranja. Apparently the Argus engine used for this car was actually built in the Renault factory, in occupied France. It generates 450 or 580 hp, depending on the source. Campo, an engineer, designed the chassis of the car as a special, one-off job for Pur Sang. The styling of the bodywork is by Luis Huber. It resides in a private collection in Belgium.
