I haven't a clue what the buggy is, but I'm loving the clever use of that Saab grille  ;)

Is it using an FWD SAAB powerplant mounted in the rear?

Though I have no idea what this could be, I'm pretty sure it's French (by the architecture and the shape of the license plate).

Could it be a (modified) Buffalo Buggy, powered by Renault?

Not a Buffalo, the engine is what you would expect in your average buggy. Not that this one is average...

Hint: this buggy can do what very few other buggy's (or cars) can do...

This is the Défi beach buggy.
