Edit: big thanks to HumanPerson and their friend for potentially figuring it out! It seems to be a BMW F10!

Hey there! I'm not trying to find a perp committing a hit and run or anything, just curious on what make and model this car could be!

I was following it on the interstate and couldn't ID it then, and can't ID it from my dashcam either. And was never close enough to get a clear view until he hauled ass and disappeared. I thought it was a Kia sports car at the time (k5 or stinger) but can't place the tail lights

It doesn't seem to be a kia, Subaru, Ford focus (hatchback), or Corvette to me. But I'm also not entirely sure of the exhaust placement or door count!

Here's the clip I got the screenshots from: https://streamable.com/9hu10f

Thanks in advance!

That's an awful photo to go off of but based on the exhaust placement alone, could it be one of the newer Civic hatchbacks?

Edit: I googled and no it's not a Civic hatchback. The tail lights are completely different.

Think of it like an identification challenge ;)

I figured, after the Kia adventure proved fruitless, that it was a civic/civic type R as well. I'll be uploading a short clip of it moving soon

Maybe a BMW like an M3 or something? After looking at the Civic I realized it has to be older as just about every new car has thin LED taillights while this thing has traditional round bulbs.

Possibly also a Nissan GTR with a custom exhaust based on the shape and position of the taillights.

Edit: not a GTR either. This car has the license plate directly between the taillights while the GTR is lower on the bumper.
