Belgian company. They used to compete in the FIA GT championship, 24hrs of Spa, etc. The race car had a different engine though.

Yes, as said, a Belgian company. They've used various different engines in their cars.

A few of their cars have appeared in the Gran Turismo games.

Not seen one before but i reckon it look quite nice.
