Reminds me a bit of a Lotus 23 ... but more modern.

It's not a replica but it's based on a replica...

Found it! Just typed in 'Lotus 23 replica' in Google and the photo was halfway the page: it's a rebodied Lotus 23 replica made by TASUMA Aerospace Composite Engineering. They also make - apparantly - cabron fibre wings for the Lotus 7 Clubmans and solid carbon underbody air-splitters for the Dodge Viper ...
