I think this is just a 1995-Spec Welter Racing-designed chassis with SsangYong stickers everywhere (Including the Engine Badge most likely) that failed to Qualify at Lemans by quite a wide margin... And the Original WR95 as an example/case-in-point:

Welp, the SsangYong looks better than the WR95 anyway. It would also be better because GT needs more cars from different countries.

The only difference between the car I posted and the one in the OP of this thread is the paint scheme though...

Spot the differences I guess?

What about the engine, it may be different.

Also, your link doesn't really give any new information, only a photo...

Does the front remind anyone else of the BAC Mono?

What about the engine, it may be different.

Pretty sure both are powered by Sodemo-Tuned, Twin-Turbocharged Peugeot V6's (As Gerard Welter had long-time connections to Peugeot, up to and including designing a few concept cars).

Also, your link doesn't really give any new information, only a photo...

Try this one then.
