Fellow Autopuzzlers, for a point please identify this sports car.

Don't be naughty! Stay away from Google Search by Image, kids.

Well I would say it is not European, the rear lights are too inboard to be Road legal?

It is indeed not European, though I would say that the fact that its design is incompatible with road regulations is due to the fact that it's a concept, rather than its nationality.

It's not Japanese. Don't despair! This car is actually not very hard to find once you hit on the right country.

Is it one of the more lesser asian countries like for example Cambodia, or Mongolia?

Actually, no. It's from one of the "heavyweight" countries.

I finally got it!!! Its the Motormind Automotive Hyperion-1! That was harder than i thought considering the car looks so new.

Indeed it is the Hyperion-1, presented last year at the Delhi Auto Expo by Motormind Automotive Designs, based in Bangalore. It's powered by a V6 from a Hyundai Sonata, mounted at the rear. Apparently they are planning to build several units as track cars, and also want to develop an electric version. Sounds a bit overambitious but it would be a great feat if they can pull it off.
On one hand, I found it just by googling "Indian sports car" when I was researching another puzzle, so that's why I said it was not hard to find; on the other, it's true that many Indian and Asian concept cars like this often receive little attention from Western media/websites.
