Nope. The base car is not Japanese. And if you notice the picture... the car presented is far too wide to be a Z.

That's two clues... hope that helps.

I really thinks its european. Like BMW or Audi or Volvo
Really reminds me of an M3 for some reason. The headrests look about right. Side mirrors look like a BMWs. I just don't know what the hell is going on with the body (kit?)

I dont think its a BMW.
From the pic it looks like 2 door coupe/hatch (350z body type)
I'd think it is British car.
May be modified Aston.
This car may have 5L engine (licence plate reads 5LVG022)
5 liter Vantage.

Not a kit. It's a full body remake.


Now that I think about it... this might be a little harder than I thought. This car is the first car made by this company (alongside it's convertible version... although maybe it's the same body, but with a different base car).

Ask for cluuuuuuues!!! I want to give out another clue!

OK, you car wizard, give us more clues (eg - more photos)
Also, is it based on Aston Martin?

No, not an Aston.
I was going to give an engine clue but since you asked for pictures...
Hmmm... which can I put here that won't give the car away?



By the way, I HAVE erased the logos that appear on the back...

[Edit] This angle shows that it maintains the same aggressive stance that the base car has.

Its based off of the BMW 6 series coupe, right?
Not an M6 cause of the side mirrors are different and missing the indent, that has the side M badges, along the door and fender.
Its gotta be off a bmw 6 series though.

I'd say it is a BMW 6-series as well.
If it is so, then Discreet you'll be next one to post

We gotta find the company who does the conversion though. It doesnt seem to be Hamann or Brabus or anything similiar. Im thinking its an american company cause of the plate.

Well, 6-series is right. The standard engine is a 32-valve, 4.8L V8, which generates 360 HP. Meanwhile, the optional 5.0L V10 generates over 500 HP (that's the M6 as your base model).
Now, as diskreet said, you have to find who makes (or remakes) this car, along with it's model name.

Hamann:
Brabus:
American:


I'm not posting the front because it will give the car away.

Hint:

It shares a little bit of bloodline with a BMW Z8.

Aaaand here's a pic because I want to post more! I don't want to post the front, so there's no front for you guys!
I know diskreet has this one because he's right on it's tracks.



I think that's enough hints for ya...

That looks like a GTO to me.

Subaru: Don't think so.
Toyota: Door handles, grille, headlights don't look Toyota-ish. Maybe, though.
It looks more like a Pajero/Montero, but I'm not sure.

how about that hint that goes with the picture? I understand we have had issues with your hints in the past but something simple would help out a lot.

No, that can't be the Hyundai logo. That one has a little 'spike' to the left of it, meanwhile the Hyundai logo doesn't.

A what now?
