Looks like a Belly Tank Lakester ready to do its thing on the Salt.
( so that could be Bonneville or Australia )

But the front axle ahead of the bodywork is unusual, and the wheels & tires look more Dragster than LSR racer.

In other words, I have no idea which car this is...  ;D

Yes, by me... I made it to obscure the real name ;)
'Allemano' is not the right name either....

Just wondering: was it ever built? Looks like a rendering...

Do you really think the front view is a 'rendering' as well? It's definetely a real car!

Anything from the So-Cal would be too easy?

The driver is from Southern California and most members of the crew as well, but the company's headquarter is in a different state.
