Not a Sial, actually for real car. It even features in GT4 when it is released in this country.

Big seller too in Japan. After WWII when the Japs were not allowed to make aircraft or military vehicles, the factories which had supplied their war efforts turned to producing cars, vans and bikes. IIRC this was Subarus first car after a few mopeds, and set them on the road to where they are now. Through the 50-60's they even had partnerships with Nissan and Mitsubishi.
