Could be a 924 with an updated 944 body kit.

Looks like a 944, apart from the rear spoiler which looks 924.

Could be either (944 or '944-ized' 924 )

Just for info:

If it's a real 944 it will have the 2.5 l Porsche 4-cylinder engine (160 bhp in Euro spec) as opposed to the 924 (Audi) 2.0 l, 125 bhp (Euro spec) engine.

The Porsche engine is also available in the 924 body-style, in the form of the '924S' (1985 on).

Looks like it has ARE rims with covers over the lugs but def a EU car (look at the cars in the back round)

That looks quite similar to my 924 with a body kit, it has been imported from somewhere. and the wheels are even the same . but a interesting point on mine, it has a hole, about 20mm diameter just rear of the fuel filler. any ideas???

Thats what i said. see this is one picture ithat drew me to the 924. The car looked so... curvy. A pretty good job on Porsche's part. but that does look like a european background now that you mention it
