If only it's not Factory Five GTM then it's something based on one.

That may be so but that's not what this particular car is!

Might it be electric?

I could be horribly wrong about this, but is it a VBM 4000GTC? It was a French supercar that bore more than a passing resemblance to a Ford GT40, powered by a twin-turbocharged 'Douvrin' V6. One turned up at the Le Mans 24 Hours test weekend but never made the actual race.

Or it could just be a highly-modified GT40 replica...

I'm afraid it's none of those!

I think this would be a Porsche Carrera GT replica?

Don't think so, no.
It has a name of its own and don't think it's meant to be a replica of anything.

Just found some info

Today we have just come across the Custom Corner Germany GT ecoVision, a bioethanol burning mid engine super car wearing a very appropriate carbon fiber front lip, rear diffuser and wing.

Although the CCG Custom GT ecoVision doesn’t offer a ZEV mode, it does run on a combination of LPG and E85 bioethanol. Powered by a 6.0 Liter V8 sourced from a Corvette, the LS series engine currently produces a total of 450 HP, and CCG is promising that a 570 HP version is on the way. Weighing in at only 2,300 pounds, the ecoVision will rip from 0 to 60 MPH in only 3.2 seconds, and while the CMT we talked about earlier could only do 150 MPH, the CCG’s top speed is 193 MPH, using nothing but alternative fuels. By combining a proven aerodynamic design with a lightweight fiberglass body CCG allows the GT ecoVision to make the most with what its got, and as a bit of a tongue and cheek environmentally friendly maneuver the super car’s standard color scheme is green; however customers can choose from any color they desire.

Yes, I was just preparing to enter all that as your reply popped up.
Here's a rear view of it anyway instead:
