Really? Would it be a copy or rather a car inspired by the original?

An exact copy of the car on these pics.
So far, they only showed some renderings, but it can't take too long now before it's finished.

These are definitely good news! Maybe a 2010 Mille Miglia will see the finished car?

From a brand-related book which was mentioned on Autopuzzles.com before...

This car is beautiful. Looks like it was the design which Porsche applied to RS later, at least from the front.

What's this, who built it, for whom and when?

1957's Porsche 356 barchetta Zagato, a car which is by now being recreated at Zagato.

Close, but it's earlier than 1957 and it has a name.
Locked for you to come up with it.

Possibly 1500Z, from 1953??

I wrote 1957 before because Zagato's book shows that figure.

It's what I had it as and what I was looking for, but I guess the Zagato book is more likely to be correct (although not necessarily so - I find plenty of errors in books!)

I also saw it quoted as 1956 on another website!

Here's a front view:

The car was built on a Porsche 356 A Carrera GT. After final adjustments at the Porsche works, the mechanic of Claude Storez crashed the car a few kilometres away from Stuttgart.

Yes, I meant to mention that the car was specially built for French raciang drive Claude Storez.
The first car built was crashed by a Zagato employee before it was delivered and they had to build another to replace it.
Sadly the crash you depict killed Storez.
