Even though each Friday offers another attempt to prove differently, it’s no mystery that you Hoons certainly know your stuff. That’s why it’s so hard to find interesting cars and mask them in a manner that sufficiently hides their identity so as to be a match for your collective capabilities. Today, I’m giving it another shot.

As always, the rules are make, model, year range, and likely engine for the win. Now, mystify me with your mystifying mystery car solving mystique.

    I'm at work so I can't research, but can that be a 30s alfa? P3 or something… In my mind today's mystery car is an Italian racer.

      Ok, now I'm sure. It's an Alfa Romeo Tipo B P3, from 1932-1935. Straight 8, 2.6 to 3 liters, supercharged.

      Any excuse to post a Victory By Design clip is a good one. I want them to make more of those shows.

    Conseguia-se assim 540cv extraídos de um 6.3 (3165*2) contra os 430 do W25 e os 375 do Typ-B. O diferencial ficaria localizado ao centro ea potencia era passada às rodas através de dois eixos em V.

      The rationale behind such a weird diff arrangement seems more French than Italian.
      I wonder how the designer's train of thought ran, ( before becoming derailed?)

    Looks like a airplane, or a heliocopter!

    <img src="http://hooniverse.info/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/mystery_car_17-05-13.jpg"&gt; This one is still driving me nuts! To me it's like ten years after the Mustang came out, an Italian company decided to make one too.

      It even looks well-used (the silver paint worn off of the grille).

    The car is definitely the 1931 – 1935 Alfa Romeo P3. I just sat in one and that split shaft scared me a bit… I imagined it breaking and tossing parts. There is nothing to shield you and it sits just under and between your knees. fede6882 should be 100% correct. I am lucky enough to have 2 of the P3s in the area to enjoy.

    For a moment I was hoping that Turbonique had built their own car.
