It looks like a rally car. Not all that common in the US but raced (full size) on road style courses that are mostly dirt. I've seen some of these on TV and those guys are crazy! They run on these narrow roads and at times are only a few feet from huge drop-offs with no safety barrier whatsoever. I seen some pretty nasty wrecks too. They drive with the driver and a navigator. The navigator is responsible for telling the driver the course direction and layout directly ahead of them. Now that's trusting your partner!
Actually they drive on gravel, asphalt and snow/ice. It's called World Rally Championship (WRC) and is driven all over the world. One of the rounds is in Argentina.
Even though Rally is not very big in the US, you do have cars they use in WRC? Like Subaru WRX, Mitsubish Lancer EVO .. Atleast I saw them in Fast and the Furious
