Tough to Crack car puzzle #143

• 
• 

Four wheels, powerful engine and bodied like a cigar. Should be fun to drive, but let's first concentrate what it is.  It is not a Formula 1 racing car but we saw a very similar engine but with slightly less displacement(!) in a Formula 1 car built by the same manufacturer.  The car/engine depicted here has 16 valves and 'only' a mere 250 HP.

Can you tell what it is? Make, Year/ Type plus interesting, trivial yet relevant details not exceeding 100 words. Post your answer in the comment box below and win the famous PostWarClassic.com T-shirt. But be sure to read the rules first under read more. Have a great weekend. Hopefully slightly less wet that the tarmac depicted above...
