Rafael,
It sure is.
I am guessing an M6B CanAm car?
Colin
EDIT:
I just dug out these 20 year old images of a McLaren M6 GT.
My in-laws knew Martin, the owner/driver, so my wife and kids got a mini tour during school recess. Alas, I was at work and missed out. Images were taken with a Canon Powershot S40 (my first digital camera) so are in this Flickr album. https://www.flickr.com/photos/deltasigma/albums/72177720330602629
The car and its history is briefly featured in the following YT video.
We went for a walk this morning along Battle Road Trail in Minute Man National Historical Park. That's the route the British column took from Boston to Concord on April 19, 1775 which marked the start of the American Revolution. This part of the world is getting cold and wintry. Pics taken with 300mm f/4.5 AI-S and 35mm f/2.8.
All the migratory birds have gone but nature always has something to show us.
Northern Mockingbird.
Homes of some flying monsters, best left undisturbed.
The fields have been put to bed but the woods are as dense as ever.

Edit: not sure why the exif text in the border is so terrible, perfectly sharp and crisp before uploading. Image is a lot less sharp too.
Nice pic. And yes this lens shines by f5,6 f8,0. My copy has an oily iris and could not be used on a DSLR without over exposing. On my dumb adapter I close a little bit more than the desired aperture and open back and it works for the time being.
How do you realise the floating image over the frame with ombrage? I have experienced a little with Gimp but succeeded only once and never understood how to do it again.
If someone familiar with this software could point to a tutorial directed to this issue I would be grateful.
Regarding the drop shadow effect on the frame, I use a script that a fellow photographer created for use in Photoshop in 2017. It still works fine for me in Photoshop 2024. Here is a link to his site:
I have not used Gimp for many many years so I am not familiar with how to do this in that software.

We went to the Boston Museum Of Science today for two reasons. One was to watch the Omni Theater presentation of the movie Train Time again. (If you get a chance, go see it.) The other was to see their annual model train exhibit. And of course the regular exhibits are always fun. All shots with 35mm f/2.8, Z5-II w/FTZ adapter.
One must assume the Boston, Revere Beach, Lynn line is a recreation excursion, but maybe not. (I had no idea that dinosaurs are still roaming eastern Massachusetts.)
Various typical New England scenes, old and new. (What's playing at the theAtre today?)
The Museum Of Science itself (MOS.org, FWIW).
Sights of Boston (not to scale of course). Zakim Bridge, Dorchester gas tanks, Customs House, Bunker Hill monument, old Hancock building, Prudential Center, new Hancock building. Kenmore Square area with Fenway Park and the Citgo sign. And of course a fire in Back Bay. Curiously the state capitol is missing, or maybe I missed it.
Lastly, some real stuff. One of the few complete Triceratops skeletons. You wouldn't want to meet one but they were vegetarians.
I love the Museum of Science! Nice that they have those model trains there.
The Blue line goes out to Revere, I used to go out there all the time on the Blue line to go to Revere Beach, back when it had amusement rides along the beach. Never went on the roller coaster there. IIRR, they eventually tore down the rides and put in condos?

Good memory. Not yet, but probably next weekend.
