Where can I identify a car from a photo?

A car-spotting identification room for genuine “what car is this?” photos — not guessing games or badge complaints.

If you have a photo of an unknown vehicle, r/whatisthiscar is built for identification requests. Challenge-style “guess the car” posts belong in a different community.

Where to ask

r/whatisthiscar

Best for: Posting a photo of a vehicle you genuinely want identified.

Why it fits: Its public description: “Post pictures of unknown vehicles you'd like identified, or identify them for others.”

Rules to know before posting:

  • Be civil — not everyone reading the photo is a car expert.
  • Do not complain about visible badges; they may be illegible, swapped or not original.
  • Do not complain that a car is “too common”; availability differs by market.
  • No challenge posts, memes or meta — only genuine identification requests (challenges go to r/namethatcar).

Before you post

  • Upload the clearest photo you have: full side, grille and any badges help.
  • Mention the country or city if you know it — the same shape can be sold under different names.
  • If you already know the answer and want others to guess, use r/namethatcar instead.
