Can anyone identify this car?
Saw this car tonight, it was all wrapped up. Interior cluster, everything was draped in cloth. Looked pretty nice. Literally no sign of brand or make. hubcaps gone, covered interior, etc. Looked like an audi from the shape of the seats, but front end doesn't look audi

Looks like a Hyundai or Kia. The car has many characteristic of German cars mixed together and the Koreans are famous for stealing their designs

Another round of ICE
The license plate is for "distributor" and not "manufacturer", so it is reasonable to eliminate anything domestic.

I don't think so... It has quad exhaust so it must be AMG version, but it didn't have brembo/BBK. The sports seats inside looked so similar to the audi s4 seats.
