Hi Arunas!
I think that with another view of this car and more time, you can probably find it out...(if @re is not around!)
I can tell you that this is not a kit-car and it has quite a big engine.
You are really going fast!

The puzzles I already solved were quite easy for me personally because I knew exactly the cars to guess. This puzzle.. I see this car first time ever and really have no idea about it.. The time so search for answer as well... :-((

But that was a good question, 'cause its engine can lead you to the solution....or not!


Graber

taillights are from a camaro imho.
the car looks lika a toyota mr2 based one  ??? ?

Paul Jaray

Not Camaro's lights, Otto was closer, and it is not Toyota-based.

@re

My first thought when I saw the rear lamps was that they look like they came off a Dodge Stratus/Chrysler Cirrus. But I can't quite make that fit, either.

Not those either but you're definetly closer....

Ok, this seems a puzzle within the puzzle but, no, the lights are not from a Concorde....

I have found the lights. Will it help me solve the puzzle?

Edit: Yes, it will!

The taillights are from a Chrysler Sebring. Some intense googling gave me this link:

I thought that the Northstar engine was going to lead you to the solution (that's why I blurred it in the pic  ;)), but even the Sebring lights can be useful for a Professional Googler like you are!
Congratulations and 2 well deserved points for you!

Well, thank you!

It was fun to crack this one. It's been bugging me for a while.
