One of those endless Pontiac Fiero-based Ferrari F355 Spider replicas?

Yes it is another of these endless Ferrari copies/lookalikes/pastiches whatever.
This one is not Fiero based however - it is based on a Toyota

Exact 355?
The company doesn't claim that it's an exact copy although Ferrari headlights are apparently used

I should have written a whole sentence :D
I wanted to ask, whether the car is called "Exact 355", since there is a kit car builder called Exact.
I interpret your response that it's not the right one. So I try the next one: Extreme 355.

Not Exact or Extreme
The name is a bit strange in marketing terms

B.A.D. is the marque.
I have a different name for the model.
I also need the man behind the company for the point.
Locked for you until your next reply.

Giles, sorry to push you but I'll be moving this one up if I don't have a reply from you tomorrow evening.
You have guessed the make correctly but I need the model and the man behind B.A. Design to award you a point.
