Please can anyone help me ID this car? Apologies for the bad pictures:

It’s been seen around a SW seaside town in the UK recently, it looks like it might be a kit car trying to look like a Koenigsegg ([http://www.koenigsegg.com](http://www.koenigsegg.com)) and there are lots of locals who would really like to know what it is!

Many thanks.

My vote is for kit car.  
Actually, this post is more of a bump than anything.  
Bump.

I guess Kit car as well. The entire rear light assembly looks straight off a 90’s Supra.

Yes. I don’t know of any production car using window material for the whole gullwing door.

Interesting car!

I’ve reposted those pics to another forum. So far one guy has reported that the front and especially the headlights are very similar to those of [Lotus Exige](http://onemansblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/08/Lotus-Exige.jpg).

I see there’s a badge on the front. Can you read what it says?

Does Britain allow you to look up cars by license plates?
