Mystery car. Can you tell me what it is?

A friend of a friend took this photo of a car in Daytona Beach.
This is the only photo I have and he was in a hurry so he didn't have time to stop and take closer/better pictures.

Anyone know what car this is?

Funny you should mention that.

It sits on a Chevrolet platform, and uses a supercharged 2.0-litre four-pot petrol sending power to the front wheels via a five-speed gearbox. 270bhp to the front wheels

"a friend of a friend of yours?" this was taken almost a year ago.
Lolsnaps.com - Spotted Some Sort of Time Traveler Outside Best Buy Today

Did your "friend" also take these:
That time traveler spotted outside of BestBuy is actually my father's boss, and this is his concept car/time machine. - Imgur

it's simply a concept car and no that isn't a Chevy badge on the front.

it's ok to find a cool car online and post pics wondering about it... but trying to lay claim to have even some remote association with it is just refukintardedly lame.

from here it looks like a Chevy logo and it is built on a chevy chassis so who knows.

and FastRX8 was supposed to somehow know that his friend was pulling his leg about knowing a guy who knows a guy who once dated someone who saw the car outside of bestbuy, how???

look at the other links i posted of this car. you can see up close and personal every angle except the underbody of the car. The badge isn't chevy. it has the letters ETV (not mtv like the license plate)

New supercar - Extra Terrestrial Vehicle | The Sun |Features

different story on the thing.

Well, here's the full story.
I'm part of a private forum for gaming (Xbox, PS3, PC). We only have about 2300 members. One of the guys decided to start a thread about cars and posted the following -

...
If someone knows what this car/trike/thing is I would love to know, my friend saw it in Daytona today and had to take a quick picture. It's making me mad that I cannot figure out what it is! Please help!!!



And post away!
Because it's a private forum, and it's about gaming, not cars, he didn't get any responses.
I thought, since RX8Club is a public forum and anyone can join, there are tons more members, and if I post this here, someone would know the answer.
I was right. Within minutes, someone responded w/ info and a link to the story on TopGear.

However, I did forget one thing.
Because it is a public forum and anyone can join, there's also no restriction on the number of a-holes that sign up here. Thanks for reminding me that population is alive and well.

BTW - Based only on what I've seen you post in this thread, I'm inclined to believe that before you bought an RX8, you were a Honda owner. Am I right?
