gyrating Jennifer Lopez.....in the video "Love Dont cost a Thing"...jumps into a convertible that looks pretty slick..but I'nm having a hard time figuring out what it IS!!!!! The convertible top cover up close looks rather cheaply American muscle car...but from a distance the car looks sorta European..Italian maybe...what IS IT???

It was originally powered by a supercharged straight-6, but I think now most of them are using V12s. It's not a handler, it's more of a GT, something like a Ferrari 456 or a Jaguar XKR.
