looks like some old land speed record car. Im not sure if there is a "name" for it, since theres no way its production, and probably was hand built by a small team. I suppose if u looked up old land speed cars maybe you could find it.

Is that one of those care they use in the solar car race? Take place somewhere in Europe, right?

the way the shadow blocks out the tires, it kinda looks like a landspeeder from starwars....

The paint scheme makes me think it may be some sort of Cunningham

I'm with desal75 on this. It's a Cunningham, more likely built for LeMans than land speed record.

check the weird number on the car and how it is the same as in this pic:

Kind of looks like an old vette. Modified of course.

It's a landspeeder - one of those things Luke Skywalker used to jet about in.
