SOLVED - What car #337 - 1990s (Tatra) Grafit

[Arunas]

Norway?

[@re]

Not at all...

[Arunas]

Not at all...

Sweden?

[Otto Puzzell]

Is the maker of the engine still manufacturing cars under its own name?

[@re]

Sweden?

Nope.

Good question!

And the answer is no.

[Otto Puzzell]

Oldsmobile Toronado drivetrain?

[@re]

The drivetrain does not come from any Oldsmobile.

[Otto Puzzell]

AMC?

[SeaLion]

At page 1 Otto Puzzell asked if the car have an US engine and @re answered "not at all". But it is a big otto-engine. A Mercedes V12 engine perhaps?

[Allemano]

A Mercedes V12 engine perhaps?

Also this has been asked before....

[@re]

So many guesses have been made that I can't even remember what I've answered and not. I see that I've even answered some of the same questions twice aldready. So to clarify, this is what you know:

This is not a William Towns design, and as far as I can tell, it is a one-off.
There is no Sbarro connection. And it is not a Shark S1.

The car is not: German, Austrian, French, American, Italian, Swiss, Norwegian, or Swedish.
The car is: European.

The engine is not American, and not made by GM, Lamborghini, BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar, Rolls-Royce, Rover, Ford, Cadillac, or Oldsmobile.
It is not a rotary engine, but a relatively conventional, modern powerplant, made by a manufacturer that does not produce cars under its own name anymore. It's more interesting than that of a Volkswagen Beetle, but it is not Italian.

There, that about sums it up...

[DHoffmann]

English?

[JeffJue]

a lot of obscure cars were made in Czech republic so it might possibly be from there.

[Arunas]

None said British car?

[@re]

JeffJue has made the most significant comment so far. I'll have to agree with him.

[Allemano]

Though I haven't found anything so far: has it something to do do with Innotech? (at least the colour is quite the same  )

[@re]

I honestly don't know, but I think it is an entirely different venture.

[Allemano]

Maybe a silly question, but is to find on the internet at all?

[@re]

The answer is a loud and clear yes!

[SeaLion]

The engine is perhaps sourced from Tatra?

Edit: And it was. The car's name is Grafit. It is from 1982/1983. One source call it Tatra Grafit, but in this 10-page magazine article it is just called Grafit:

Bravo! It took some time, but finally this one met its match.
