Half-right. Lister-Jaguar XJS Le-Mans. From what I'm aware, it was a modification authorised by Jaguar, like the TWR Jaguars.

It was a good guess, as it obviously a Jag, and it definitely is not stock. Thanks for the clarification. Now, what is that polished thing with the glass canopy?

Looks kinda like the Audi Streamliner that's in GT4... it has DKW written on it though, so I'd start the search at about there.. Wasn't Audi something to do with them?

Yes. DKW, Horch, Wanderer and NSU are the 4 rings on Audi's logo. Audi means Auto Union Deutschland Ingolstadt, because it was the result of the union of those 4 companies.

The four rings are DKW Horch Wanderer and AUDI !
and that are Auto Union .
the only mark that survived WWII was DKW , but not in the same town (Zwickau)
(the place was taken by the "reds" and started to make pre-WWII DKW´s under the name IFA , Trabant is also a DKW "evo" , and so is Wartburg to)
(similar to the BMW~EMW story)
In -65 business was going not to good and ,to make a long story short.
the 2-stroke engine(F-102 car) was "bye-bye" and hello 4-stroke , facelift and name changed to Audi (F-103 car)
the other DKW was discontinued , exept the Munga that was built for a few years more under the old name
Audi does NOT means Auto Union Deutschland Ingolstadt,
Horch and Audi means "listen" , (Audi , latin ,audio)
The man who started to build Horch , later started to build Audi
NSU has nothing to do with them ,
in the late 60´s NSU was almost "dead" (the RO-80 had cost to much money)
so VW bougt NSU and got the NSU K-70 and just rebagded it to Volkswagen K-70
