Wasn't that the 159 GTA "mule" that was "snooped" well over a year ago only for it to turn out that it was just a custom tuning jobbie?

That's what I thought - it's been on here a couple of times before but turned out to be a German aftermarket tuner, I think.

Re: 159 Gta
That car looks like it has been a write off - that has been put back together...

Bonnet and door alingment suss...especially around the doors

Colour does not match on front panels to door and the rear door on the nearside is a different colour possibly new one....

Re: 159 Gta?
mmmm, who knows? could be an engine test and this wont be the 'look' so to speak, they may think that a boy'd up looker wont attract too much attention. Wouldnt a v6 make that noise with the right back boxes? Im not convinced but the double bluff idea is believeable. Any GTA must have extended arches and a more tastefull rear spoiler than that please.
