It resembles the Chevrolet Corvair Testudo, drawn by Giugiaro for Bertone, incorporating some details that remind me of Marcello Gandini designs for Bertone. So my first question will be, whether the artist is connected with Bertone?

Vague resemblance to the Nissan 126x. Is it from a Japanese designer?

Perhaps it's a Sixten Sason illustration?

It's his illustration "Racing Car", shown at "Summer Exhibition: Sixten Sason - pioneers in Swedish industrial design", at the Västergötland Museum.

... and the original color of the drawing would have made it much easier as the striping was blue-yellow-blue.  ;)
