Another clue: the company used to make tune up parts for Renaults - extractors, multi carb manifolds, baffled sumps etc.

I think they had a 2 Litre Turbo 4 with an insane amount of Boost from memory.

I hadn't seen this car before until today, thought it'd make an interesting photo for this game:

Don't ya hate it when you've seen a car before but you just can't put your finger on what it is or where you've seen it etc.

It seems to have a similar look to a late 70's Mazda as well as a DeTomaso model. (I think so anyway)

I'm sure someone will get it. I like this thread. Hope we can keep it going again without such a large gap between posts like before.

Time for a hint - while body was penned in Italy, car was not built there

Shot of the engine bay



(and no, its not a GM world product, they just supplied components, like the LT1 V8)

Momo Mirage

(helps when you find the same webpage the picture came from )

BTW, my first thought too was a De Tomaso Longchamp (also a very nice car), but that of course has a 351C!
