I didn't like making a new topic for this, so I made it so that everyone can post their unknown spots here from now on.

I forgot about this until now; my mom sent me some pictures from a small car show she saw when she was at the EA Games building about a year ago. Anyone know what this one is?

Sorry I'm looking at the first post but this is a GT Malan. I've seen one of these before at the 2011 Pittsburgh Auto Show and I've never seen anything like it.

It could also be a Factory Five GTM, they pretty much look the same in photos I've seen of the two.

It's definitely still a Factory 5. The owner just made it different.

Hi guys, I'm a young spotter from Italy. I am asking your help to identify this car. The picture was taken in Bergamo. The logo is not seen well. Thanks in advance!

It could actually be an Ɛ̃fini RX-7. I don't know if the Ɛ̃fini brand existed in Italy, but I know it did in Japan, and sometimes people in the US will put the badges on their RX-7's just for fun.

Thanks Sumosloths, now I know it's the Efini logo, but is that an RX-7 FD Series 6 (1991-1995)? Wikipedia says "In Europe, only 1152 examples of this model were sold through the official Mazda network [...] Germany top the sales with 446 cars, while UK is second at 210 and Greece third with 168." So there should be few in Italy...

It's an FD, but it could also be a Series 7 or 8.

So I found this car driving through Dock Square in Kennebunkport, Maine. After a ridiculous amount of research, I have found it to be a Soviet-made Moskvitch Mockbu4, or however its spelled in cyrillic. There is no information anywhere that I can find on the car, let alone any in English. In fact, I have found no pictures of this exact version of the car. I have gathered, from the license plate, that the car was registered in southwestern Ukraine, and hasn't been registered since 2004. Anybody know anything more about it?

There's a difference between "rare and interesting" and "exotic", Sam :)
