I'll give clue:

It's not home-built car. The company who built this also built a replica of a well known movie car.
It shares model name with the other well known sportscar.
It may be a replica or is influenced by a movie car.
The website of the manufacturer appears to be no longer available, so more clues, if needed, will follow soon.
