SOLVED - City Of Industry II - by grobmotorix, Allemano, Otto Puzzell

Is car E modified with Photoshop? I know one car which exactly looks the same – except of some essential details....

I guess the question is whether I'd really make the puzzle so easy as to post the picture without editing it a tiny little bit...

[Allemano]

You were cheating...
Picture #2 is the "Stadio Delle Alpi di Torino" which is linked whith car E the Alfa Romeo Group C prototype from 1992..
First I was searching for Milano, but due to the fact that Alfa Romeo was absorbed by Fiat — you won't fool me twice.... 

[Otto Puzzell]

You were cheating...

Careful with the rhetoric, please.

Hiding or obscuring the badging or other sure giveaways is not cheating. Neither is obscuring the number plate, FWIW. 

Now, back to the game, and have fun! 

[Allemano]

No offense meant! Sorry!

You are correct about the Alfa, Allemano - and your pairing is correct - which gives these results so far:

City 1, Göteborg, Sweden - and car A, 2008 Volvo Hot Rod Jakob - grobmotorix
City 2, Torino, Italy - and car E, 1986 Alfa Romeo Gruppo C Prototipo - Allemano
City 3 - ?
City 4 - ?
City 5, Riviera Beach, Florida - and car F, 1999 Mosler TwinStar - Otto Puzzell
City 6, Hoschton, Georgia - and car G, 1997 Panoz Esperante GTR1 - Otto Puzzell
City 7, Paris, France - and car B, 1973 Citroën SM prototype - grobmotorix
City 8, Seoul, South Korea - and car ?
City 9, Molsheim, France - and car D, 1952 Bugatti Type 57 'Brown' - grobmotorix
City 10, Wolfsburg, Germany - and car I, 2002 Volkswagen Tarek - grobmotorix
City 11, Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy - and car J, 1990s Lamborghini Diablo prototype - grobmotorix
City 12, Tokyo, Japan - and car H, 1991 Nissan FLV - grobmotorix

In addition to these, car K has been correctly identified, it's a 1993 Otosan Taunus - but it hasn't yet been linked to the right picture.

Keep going! Now you have to find out where the Otosan should be placed - and which car is made by a company with its headquarters in Seoul. Is that so hard?

[Otto Puzzell]

I'm somewhat confident #8 is a railway map of Seoul, Korea.

As I've stated earlier - points are for correct pairings...

I know; I was hoping to help someone else along. I searched all the Koren car pics I could, to no avail.

[Allemano]

C is the 1999 HYUNDAI FGV-II concept car which matches to city 8 Seoul.
(With a little help of Otto I have to admit)

[Allemano]

....and I suppose that pic 3 shows the city of Izmit/Kocaeli in Turkey.
The German Wiki states Otosan's headquarter is in Istanbul. Obviousely English Wiki knows it better...

[Allemano]

Car L is the Lada Priora. I leave to complete the group puzzle to Otto!

Excellent work! These are the results from the Norwegian jury (joke for Europeans only):

City 1, Göteborg, Sweden - and car A, 2008 Volvo Hot Rod Jakob - grobmotorix
City 2, Torino, Italy - and car E, 1986 Alfa Romeo Gruppo C Prototipo - Allemano
City 3, Izmit, Kocaeli, Turkey - and car K, 1993 Otosan Taunus - Allemano
City 4 - ?
City 5, Riviera Beach, Florida - and car F, 1999 Mosler TwinStar - Otto Puzzell
City 6, Hoschton, Georgia - and car G, 1997 Panoz Esperante GTR1 - Otto Puzzell
City 7, Paris, France - and car B, 1973 Citroën SM prototype - grobmotorix
City 8, Seoul, South Korea - and car C, 1999 Hyundai FGV-II - Allemano
City 9, Molsheim, France - and car D, 1952 Bugatti Type 57 'Brown' - grobmotorix
City 10, Wolfsburg, Germany - and car I, 2002 Volkswagen Tarek - grobmotorix
City 11, Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy - and car J, 1990s Lamborghini Diablo prototype - grobmotorix
City 12, Tokyo, Japan - and car H, 1991 Nissan FLV - grobmotorix

In addition to these, car L has been correctly identified - and I leave this final point for Otto Puzzell, at Allemano's request. After he has done the last pairing, I will award the points.

And about Wikipedia: There is a Norwegian version, too, but i never trust it. The English one is used by a far greater number of people, and is thus much more likely to be correct.

[Otto Puzzell]

OK - #4 is the Olimp Sport Palace in Tolyatti, a city in Samara Oblast, Russia, which is paired with Car L - the Lada Priora.

Thanks, Allemano!

It certainly is. Well done, guys - the points tally is as follows:

12 points - grobmotorix
6 points - Allemano
6 points - Otto Puzzell

And hereby I declared this puzzle solved. There will soon be another one.
