Yes, indeed. As I answered previously, it is a Volvo P1800, but a special one

Well... Then it should be a re-creation by Beat Roos of a 1961 Volvo P1800 prototype with experimental 2.5-liter straight four Aston Martin DP208 engine.

The DP208-engine-project started at Aston Martin in 1961. Only three engines were built. One went in the engine-bay of an Volvo P1800 in 1963. Beat Roos built up this recreation with the only remaining original engine in 2005.
