For lovers of the newer cars, identify this one correctly for 1 point:

Google Search by Image continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.

2000 Duopower Afghan. It's a one-off based on a Chevrolet Corvette and uses the same 5.7 Litre V8. It was designed by a Chinese guy for another (obviously rich) Chinese guy ...

Thanks for that.
Since it wasn't part of the question I didn't bother checking that but I should have done because it's what I have too..

Yes, that's correct, but I didn't know the names of the Chinese guys out of my head ; I could have easily looked it up in Google. Besides, the names weren't part of the question ...

BTW: it's not a millenium car, but from 1993...
