Totally forgotten about the mystery headlight. At first look (btw, the photo quality is real bad, can't make much details out of it), it has hint of Audi, Opel, Mercedes, Nissan & even Subaru.

 

Now, this is the larger and clearer photo of the headlight...

And the answer for the 3 other mystery cars are:

 

1st Generation Hyundai Elantra (Pre-facelift)

Let have a tougher one for the weekend. The only hint I can provide is: Take a good look at every details you can find on the car, identify the linkage between this and another model and you shall see the light... ... [wave]

Thks, for creating awareness of such cars. I like the look of such design.

It's an Invicta S1 - 600, British designed & Italian made.

Supercharged 5 litre V8 Ford engine.

I cheated using Google... Here's the front:

Invicta S1

 

 

Yes, it is Invicta S1.

Invicta is a British automobile manufacturer. The brand has been available intermittently through successive decades. Initially, the manufacturer was based in Cobham, Surrey, England from 1925 to 1933, then in Chelsea, London, England from 1933 to 1938 and finally in Virginia Water, Surrey, England from 1946 to 1950. More recently, the name was revived for the Invicta S1 sports car produced between 2004 and 2012.

 

Car production seems to have finished in 1935. Following the collapse of an attempted sale the court made an order for the compulsory winding up of Invicta Cars Limited on 3 May 1938. Invicta Cars Ltd. Company No. 02342199 was registered again in 1989 by Christopher Browning, an Invicta enthusiast who was involved in the restoration and running of Invicta cars designed between 1925 and 1935. The purpose of the company was – and still is today – to record and preserve the heritage of the company name and provide a reference point for all the Invicta cars that are either being restored or are running on the road today.

 

In the early 2000s, the marque was resurrected yet again, producing the Invicta S1, at the Invicta Car Company factory in Chippenham, Wiltshire, England owned by Michael Bristow who acquired the brand in 1980. The car, designed in cooperation with Chris Marsh & Leigh Adams, was powered by 4.6 or 5.0-litre engines supplied by Ford's Special Vehicles Team (SVT) in America which can be tuned by Invicta to deliver up to 600 bhp and has a claimed top speed of upwards of 320 km/h. The range prices started at £106,000 and finished at £160,000, or about $156,000 to $236,000 US dollars. (December 2008)
 
The car features AP racing 6-pot (front) and 4-pot (rear) main braking system with ventilated and cross drilled race spec discs, an independent handbrake system by Brembo, fully adjustable shock absorbers with double-wishbone race suspension, a BTR Hydratrak limited-slip race differential, 50/50 weight distribution and a tubular space-frame chassis and rollcage.
 
In April 2012 Westpoint Car Company, formerly the Invicta Car Company, was wound-up by the court as a result of a £40,000 unpaid debt following diminishing interest in expensive cars. Invicta Car Company changed its name to Westpoint Car Company shortly before it was dissolved to save the Invicta brand being linked to yet another financial failure. The dispossessed owner, Michael Bristow, said it was the fourth financial collapse in the marque's history.
 
 
OK, want to make a guess another special thing with this model? The answer shall be revealed in "What's So Special About These Cars" thread.
