Many of you will know the make, but can you state the exact model?

Porsche 918 Spyder. Their first hybrid (hence the acid green calipers), if I'm not mistaken.

How in the heck do you always know the hard ones?
Not always but a lot of them.
Are you in the car business?

I'm scratching my head like a monkey on most of these cars... lol

Lol, I've been a car fanatic my whole life. Drove my parents nuts when I was a kid because at night I could identify the cars in front of us by their taillights, and the ones behind us by their headlights.

That was one of the easier obscure ones though. My brain went "hey it's a Porsche supercar, but clearly not the Carrera GT. There's only one other option."

Thank you for my first laughs of the day!
No wonder- I keep putting up cars I think are hard and ya'll say it's too easy.

But-this is the part that kills me, "That was one of the easier obscure ones though".

Say whaaat? Really? <haha>

Yeah, GM Vauxhall Lotus Carlton. Top speed was 177mph. No other German car could keep up with it on the Autobahn (they were all limited by gentleman’s agreement to 155mph). Ultimate get away car as no police vehicle could catch it.

C'mon man, I explained my logic! It's ultra-rare (there's the obscure part), but in the realm of "what Porsche supercar is this?" there are only two possible answers. If you know what both of them are, and are extremely familiar with one of them, choosing the right answer is pretty straightforward.

Make is obvious, but do you know the exact name for this limited production model?

You sound like my little one. At some point he was watching some youtube "exams" where they had a car with couple of choices. Sometimes just the engine sounds. Yesterday I came home telling him I saw a Pagani and a McLaren. He asked me, "which one?" I didn't even know which one it was. Lol

Back to the topic... This may be an easy one but they haven't been on the road as many so some may not know.

I had always thought that this was just the Audi Quattro, before they offered "Quattro" as AWD across the product line.

I know you can’t see much of it but who knows?
