iloveporsches - 2 Points! Great, that is the second car you guessed. (you have twice as many points as I do now, yes, I've only guessed one car)
Love the brake paint! but where's the rotor? (it's not UNDER the paint is it??)
Very good about the car, but does anyone know the name?
Here's some great info:
Ferdinand Porsche landed his first techincal job working for Jacob Lohner in 1900. Thier first car, the _____, used wheel mounted electric motors. Later cars used Daimler derived motors to power the electric engines. These systems were very elegant solutions as they did not use drive shafts, transmissions gears, chains, or clutches.
Around 300 _____ were completed until the patents were sold to Emil Jellinek of Mercedes.
Porsche can look back on more than a century of all-wheel-drive technology. The first vehicle of this type was a _____racing car which Ferdinand Porsche personally delivered to his customer E. W. Hart in Luton, just north of London. We have no record of how many races Hart won with this vehicle, but we do know that in1901 Ferdinand Porsche himself won the Exelberg Rally driving a similar vehicle.
Porsche used his latest development: the wheel hub motor, praised in the contemporary press as an epoch-making innovation, to power his first all-wheel-drive automobile. Porsche's wheel hub motor functioned without gears and driveshafts because the wheel, which was connected directly to the rotor of the direct current motor, rotated around the stator which was attached to the wheel suspension. The drive mechanism therefore worked without friction losses to an extraordinary efficiency level of 85 percent. This Porsche invention was even employed by NASA when its moon car explored the surface of the moon. Today, international car manufacturers are using this technology for the development of future emission-free vehicles.

Three Wheelin'
#330 1965 Plymouth Barracuda (Formula S model)
Personally, I think the car is quite attractive!
#340 That swoopy car with the BMW front end was the Nazca V12 by ItalDesign, wasn't it?
#360 I think it's an Escort Mexico coupe. Mexico is the model name, not the country of origin by the way.
