Solved -PJ656- Lamborghini Latinoamerica's Anaconda Indy (but it's not!)

[Paul Jaray]

Same car, 2 different solutions.
You can tell me what is it for 1 point...
...and if you find out which company used this car in his official papers to present a future model, you'll get another point.

[Arunas]

Now we have cool puzzle! 

Is it made by European company?

[Paul Jaray]

Nope.

[oko94]

Proposal for an IndyCar single seater ?

[Paul Jaray]

So far so good...

[oko94]

Proposal made by a company specialised in designing/building racing cars ?

[Paul Jaray]

Remember there are 2 points here.
One for the real id of this car and one for the 'fake' one.
Not for a racing car company.
A big name asked 'someone' to design it.

[oko94]

Oh right. So as a Pro I can only guess the fake identity ...

[Paul Jaray]

I wrote that rule because I thougt it was too easy...since I was wrong, now, both points open to all!

[oko94]

Now that's better 

Was the "big name" an engine supplier for IndyCar ?

[Paul Jaray]

Not only...also a big car company.

[oko94]

Chevrolet ?

[Paul Jaray]

Not Chevy.

[oko94]

American company ?

[Paul Jaray]

The company that commissioned the design is not American.

[oko94]

Toyota ?

[Paul Jaray]

Nope, but much closer.

[oko94]

Then Honda ?

I've read that Honda and the Indy Racing League have sponsored design competitions at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. Was this car designed during such an event ?

Edit : I think I have found something indeed (see attached picture). Design by Gairy Smith made in 1993 at Art Center College.

[Paul Jaray]

1st point is gone...now the hardest part...which company put this car in his papers claiming it would be their racing model? 1st clue, not a racing car maker.

[oko94]

Nice ! I guess I'll get my point when the puzzle is solved entirely ?

For the second part : was the company who claimed it would be their racing model a small American make active in the nineties ?

[Paul Jaray]

It won't take much...it's a pure guessing game now.
There is not the slightest clue about it anywhere but in those papers!
Company is probably still active (it was in 2010), not American.

[oko94]

European company specialised in sports cars ?

[Paul Jaray]

Not European. Actually their last model was released in 2007-2008.

[Paul Jaray]

We had at least 2 of their 3 models.
It's not From USA, Europe or Asia but it has a stong, very stong connection with a very famous brand.

[oko94]

Lamborghini from Mexico ?
