Name the builder and on which it's based on.

It's a "cab under load" truck, built by Manfred Steinwinter from Stuttgart with support from Daimler Benz

Yes, it looks very futuristic, but was finally refused by truckers who felt unsafe in the flat cabin.
Another drawback was the driver's inability to judge how the trailer's front circles around corners...as its pivot was hinged very inappropriately.

I love this thing. Just imagine racing around in it without a trailer:

Was Luigi Colani involved with this?  It looks like something he might have come up with in a collaborative effort with Salvador Dali.

Despite its cool looks it must be simply unbearable to drive this on long distances seeing nothing, but the exhaust of other road users.
And it probably gives a slightly uneasy feeling on a truck race at speed limit.
