This is getting irritating.
We've already established that the car is French. But I'm still confused.
The only manufacturer that I know of that first produced a mid-engine car is Lotus. Even the symbol on the front of the car looks similar to the Lotus symbol. That hint did not help me at all.

Alpine used rear-mounted engines from Renault. I think its entirely possible that they may have built a mid-engine car. However, I'm not sure if they are one the first manufacturers to do that.

Simca, who were affiliated with Matra in some way I may or may not care to find out, produced the first mid-engined road car (according to allpar); the Djet in 1961.
So, it's (very probably) a Simca.
I can't find any Simcas that look anything like what you posted though. I'm going to bed, good luck to whoever gets here first.

Okay, I lied.
It's a Rene Bonnet Missile.

I misinterpreted what allpar said before.
I'm really going to bed now.
New car in the morning.

New and exciting!
That last car was fun trip of detectiving. Let's see how this one goes for everybody.
(Sorry about the Altkam, I left that far to long with no hints)
Since I don't actaully know my obscure cars very well, I never know how long it will take somebody to get it. I really didn't expect anyone to get the Clan Crusader so fast.

It looks like a stretched Mercedes-Benz S-class to me (much older version)...
I'm going to go say:
Mercedes-Benz 500S limo...

Here's another shot:
Not photoshopped!
The first image could be a compilation of two different pictures, it is rather long.
Nobody's close yet.
This car held a world record at some point. I don't know if it still does, but I can't think of anything that would have eclipsed it since then. (going to Check now)

Are people going to keep saying Mercedies? It isn't one.
Not a Lincon either, although the grill does look like it.
I Checked, it does seem to still hold the record. Guinness doesn't have it listed on their site though*, I found my 'confirmation' elsewhere.
*It does hold the Guinness record, that's where I heard of it first. They just don't have it on their website.

A Zil or Moscovich?

No, it's not a Bentley.
Notice how Check is capitalized in my last two posts. Isn't that the obscurest hint possible? Even if you get it, it's not even the right country! (brief reaserch shows it was still part of the USSR at the time of this vehicles manufacture, so it's sort of almost the right country).
Yes!TheCracker
