OK - this week's car challenge is (rightly) another tough one - answers are going to have to be researched; I have never seen one of these in South Africa - South Africans are poorer for this.
It's a 1995 model, two seater sports car, hard top convertable (not an automatic roof) does 0-100 in 4.5 secs, which is super, super quick. It's top speed, however, is only 140! As the pic shows, it has two very distinct air vents behind the front wheel. Incredibly, as the other pic shows (it will be worth clicking on this one to enlarge it) it red lines at 8500, and revs on to 12000 - very unusual for a car to rev so high.
The white box on the windscreen is an autotoll sensor - so nothing to do with this car per se - but the white guage on the right is a boost guage - and that is a useful clue - the thing that gives rise to the boost guage is standard on the car.
The important clues are: its a Japanese "K-car" (you're going to have to look that up, I think); it's small capacity (660cc), and tastes good to Italians in the morning.
It is by a long long way the best car I have ever driven; it's handling is amazing - the engine sits on and behind the front axle, and the car is very tight and rigid. It's the only car I have ever driven that makes you feel like you feel when you're riding a fast bike. Its not the same car as in the previous picture, I only mention this because the colour is the same.
What could it be?
