Can anyone identify this one?

Yet another photo taken from 22cworks. This was brought to a Japanese meet on a trailer, anyone know where it races?




It looks like an updated version of this one that's from a French dealer. I think it's a Group 5 or Le Mans competitor.

This car is featured in Hot Version 97, short clip here: http://www.bestmotoring.jp/HV/097/

It (or something like it) ran in the "Super Silhouette" series in Japan, which only lasted from 1979-83.



Some of you may recognize the Super Silhouette DR30 from Gran Turismo:
