This one is hard, I know...

Here are 8 pictures of prototypes or styling models during their construction.
One point is for identifying who made them: not the customer (the carmaker) but the firm that made the prototype or the model in the picture.

An additional point is for who recognize each one of the car, but for some of them I don't know exactly the answer...

a - ? made by ModelMaster - ###/75america
b - ? made by UCIF - ###/75america
c - Fiat Armadillo model made by PoliModel - Paul Jaray/75america
d - Icona (Cecomp) Fuselage - Wendax/Wendax
e - IDeA One made by Zerbini Modelli - 75america/75america
f - Lancia Aprilia model made by Stola - Wendax/Wendax
g - ? made by Zerbini Modelli - ###/75america
h - Mitshubishi Colt proposal model made by UCIF - 75america/thorax

75america - 7 points
Wendax - 4 points
Paul Jaray - 1 point
thorax - 1 point

Ok, considering that this is very hard and that there are now only a few puzzles for the Experts, let's move it up quickly...

picture e reminds me a Bugatti, is it?

als15 · January 25, 2013, 10:12:29 AM

It was my first thinking, but I don't know...

However, consider that the main target of the puzzle is to say who made it. And here we don't have carmakers: only specialists in prototyping or modelling, working for big companies.

Was car E built by ItalDesign?

als15 · January 25, 2013, 10:44:42 AM

Much more obscure!

Small clue: all the pictures come from the official companies' websites (but you cannot use Google Image Search!).

Is one of the firms Stola

als15 · January 25, 2013, 02:37:19 PM

Yes, one of them is made by Stola.

D looks like the BMW i8 concept

als15 · January 26, 2013, 04:16:56 AM

I don't think so: doors open in a totally different way.

wingroad · January 26, 2013, 01:06:51 PM

The stola design is e?

All the points still available for Pros.

Paul Jaray · February 04, 2013, 05:38:40 AM

C: Maggiora Armadillo for Fiat?
E: Lagonda Vignale?
H: Anything to do with Giugiaro?

als15 · February 04, 2013, 05:49:13 AM

C - right car, but the milled model was not made by Maggiora themselves. Still to say who made it.
E - I don't actually know...
H - I don't know, but the workshop where the prototype is shown is not Italdesign (that doesn't actually exclude that Giugiaro was the customer).

F is a Lancia model made by Stola in the 1930s.

als15 · February 04, 2013, 07:26:56 AM

It is! Which Lancia? It should be easy...
This one locked for you.

Should be an Aprilia.

als15 · February 04, 2013, 07:47:46 AM

Yes.

75america · February 04, 2013, 12:10:51 PM

C: cutting the 1/1 exterior model was done by Poli Model

als15 · February 04, 2013, 12:28:28 PM

Yes: a point for you!

thorax · February 04, 2013, 03:14:00 PM

G = Proton Gen 2?

als15 · February 04, 2013, 03:23:50 PM

Sorry: I don't know the cars. I only know where the prototypes/models have been made.
To get the additional point for identifying the car, you must post a picture to prove it.

thorax · February 04, 2013, 05:15:07 PM

ok!

als15 · February 05, 2013, 03:00:59 AM

Not sure: bumpers and rear door are totally different...
