To clear any confusion, the car is from Finland, yes

Come on, there aren't many people making cars in Finland...
Title: Re: Q#12
Post by: @re on September 05, 2008, 06:31:01 PM
You're right, there aren't. And I thought I more or less knew them all, but apparently I was wrong.

Is this car still available and was it ever produced in series?
Title: Re: Q#12

I don't believe this car was ever offered for sale

You're getting there - the Ibana was a project of...?

Automotive Engineering Laboratory of Helsinki Polytechnic Stadia ??? Is it 1997 Hybrid-Ibana ?

Yes, the people at Helsinki Polytechnic are responsible for this car. Am I being too harsh now to ask for the name of the car?

If it is not Hybrid-Ibana then maybe Hydro CVT

Is this Helsinki Polytechnic's project featured somewhere on the web?
Title: Re: Q#12
Post by: Quiller on July 09, 2009, 10:05:31 AM
I didn't find it on the web. It was actually in a calendar ...
Title: Re: Q#12
Post by: Paul Jaray on March 14, 2010, 07:19:07 AM
Is there a way to find this name without the calendar?
I mean, is it a name we can try to find guessing (Microcar\Minicar\Citycar\UrbanCar\UrbanVehicle\CommuterCar...) or we need your source for it?
Title: Re: Q#12
Post by: Paul Jaray on March 21, 2010, 01:41:57 PM
Is that a no?  ;D
Title: Re: Q#12
Post by: Quiller on August 01, 2010, 06:44:32 PM
I've never seen this photo anywhere but the calendar. It does have a specific name, which is shared (albeit with a small spelling change) with a Japanese car ...

If I listen to your clues, then I believe this one is called the Carola made between 2000-2002

We have a winner!  :applause: :applause: :applause:

Since this is my longest-standing unsolved puzzle, I'm being generous. Arunas gets one point for identifying the maker and pnegyesi gets two points for revealing the correct model name. I'm very impressed you found it!
For the record, the Carola 'Easydrive' appeared in a calendar produced by the Helsinki institute in 2006 (April) and the car itself dates from 2001. Spot on!

Post by: pnegyesi on August 02, 2010, 12:39:28 PM
There's a Finnish-language page which lists all projects by this institute. And you mentioned a Japanese car...
Thanks for the two points :)!
